Crossword Genius

Wrong a young lady (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amiss

'wrong' is the definition.
(I know that wrong can be written as amiss)

'a young lady' is the wordplay.
'young lady' becomes 'miss' (term of address for a young woman).
'a'+'miss'='AMISS'

(Other definitions for amiss that I've seen before include "Fallacious" , "Taking wrong turn" , "Faulty" , "Haywire" , "Not quite right" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
