See the misguided rector as right! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

correct

'right' is the definition.
('correct' can be a synonym of 'right')

'see the misguided rector' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'the misguided' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'rector' with letters rearranged gives 'orrect'.
'c'+'orrect'='CORRECT'

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for correct that I've seen before include "Accurate" , "Free from error" , "True; put right" , "Set right - punish" , "Rectify" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
