incorrectly decided
Etymology
'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.'
'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.'
Initially, 'erroneous' meant 'wandering' or 'straying,' but over time it evolved to mean 'incorrect' or 'mistaken.' 'Determine' has largely retained its meaning of 'decide' or 'conclude.'
