Nope - a reducing Tee is same size straight through, with reduced
size off the side.

Wrong. A reducing tee is *any* tee in which the fittings aren't all the same size.

I need an elbow with the reduced size off the end,
big pipe makes a 90, small pipe heads off straight.

No, you don't. You need a reducing tee.

You need this, right?

1"
It's called a 1 -- 1/2 -- 1 reducing tee.
According to my supply house a 1X1X1/2.

You still don't have this right. The nomenclature for a tee specifies the sizes of the ends,
then the side. So a 1 x 1 x 1/2 tee has 1" fittings on the ends, and 1/2" on the side.
Well, I have the one I need in my hands, and their spec is 331
