Crossword Genius

See one that may be boring argue wrongly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

auger

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'see one that may be boring' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'argue wrongly' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' is an anagram indicator.
'argue' anagrammed gives 'AUGER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for auger that I've seen before include "A tool for boring hole in wood" , "Boring instrument" , "I bore" , "Tool for boring holes in wood" , "Tool with spiral point for boring" .)
