Wrongly label or title male (7)

I believe the answer is:

misterm

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

'wrongly label or' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'title male' is the wordplay.
'title' becomes 'mister'.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'mister'+'m'='MISTERM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misterm that I've seen before include "Give wrong name" , "name in an inappropriate way" .)
