Etymology
'deceptively-verified' is a compound word formed from 'deceptively' and 'verified'. 'Deceptively' originates from the Latin word 'decipere', meaning 'to deceive', and 'verified' comes from the Latin 'verificare', meaning 'to make true'.
'Deceptively' evolved from the Old French 'decevoir', and 'verified' from the Old French 'verifier'. The combination of these words into 'deceptively-verified' is a modern English construct.
Initially, 'deceptively' meant 'in a manner that deceives', and 'verified' meant 'confirmed as true'. Together, they imply something confirmed in a misleading way.
