'foreseeably-incorrect' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'incorrect', where 'foreseeably' is derived from 'foresee', meaning 'to predict', and 'incorrect', meaning 'not correct'.

'foreseeably' evolved from the Old English 'foreseon', and 'incorrect' from the Latin 'incorrectus', eventually forming the modern English term 'foreseeably-incorrect'.

Initially, it meant 'predictably wrong', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
