To misdirect = to point the wrong way

Probably this questin is linked to "misquote" question. I think that you can misdirect a quote by attributing it to a person that has NT said that. In misquote you falsify the words themseves in misdirection the quote is correct, but attributed to the wrong person. Like the famous quote "Let them eat cake", which was never said by the wife of Louis XVI Marie Antoinette, but by Marie Therese of Spain, wife of Louis XIV.

But please handle my answer with suspicion as I am not sure I am correct in this. Other answers appreciated.
