In scholarly circles I think it could be misprision, but that isn't widely understood or used outside of academia. Emphasis on "misunderstanding."

The other use, in legal circles, has to do with a crime. This is a word that has bifurcated, I think. The literary use is more subtle than the legal use.

From Bartleby: ETYMOLOGY: Middle English, from Anglo-Norman, variant of Old French mesprison, from mespris, past participle of mesprendre, to make a mistake : mes-, wrongly; see mis–1 + prendre, to take, seize (from Latin prehendere, prndere; see ghend- in Appendix I).
