The term 'falsely-changed' is a compound word combining 'falsely' and 'changed'. 'Falsely' originates from Old English 'fals', meaning 'deceptive', and 'changed' comes from Old French 'changier', meaning 'to alter'.

'Falsely' evolved from the Old English 'fals', while 'changed' transformed from the Old French 'changier', eventually forming the modern English compound 'falsely-changed'.

Initially, 'falsely' meant 'deceptive', and 'changed' meant 'to alter'. Together, they convey the idea of something altered in a deceptive manner.
