/dɪˈsɛptɪvli prɪˈzɛntɪd/
misleading presentation
Etymology
'deceptively-presented' originates from the combination of 'deceptive' and 'presented', where 'deceptive' comes from Latin 'decipere', meaning 'to ensnare or cheat', and 'presented' from Latin 'praesentare', meaning 'to place before'.
'deceptive' changed from the Latin word 'decipere' and 'presented' from 'praesentare', eventually forming the modern English term 'deceptively-presented'.
Initially, 'deceptive' meant 'to ensnare or cheat', and 'presented' meant 'to place before'. Over time, 'deceptively-presented' evolved to mean 'presented in a misleading way'.
