If in a paper or other material you attemt to quote someone, but in fact the words you wrote were not his. It often happens that an author or a jurnalsit simplyfies an answer that was given, but in that the answer gets a completely different meaning.

What does misdirect mean?

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.
