'erroneously-determined' originates from the Latin word 'erroneus,' meaning 'wandering' or 'straying,' combined with 'determine,' from the Latin 'determinare,' meaning 'to limit' or 'to fix.'

Historical Evolution

'Erroneus' transformed into the Old French 'erroneus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'erroneous.' 'Determine' evolved from the Latin 'determinare' through Old French 'determiner.'
