Etymology
'improperly-linked' originates from the combination of 'improperly' and 'linked'. 'Improperly' comes from the Latin 'improprius', meaning 'not proper', and 'linked' is derived from the Old English 'hlinc', meaning 'a ridge or bank'.
'Improperly' evolved from the Latin 'improprius' through Old French 'impropre', and 'linked' evolved from Old English 'hlinc'.
Initially, 'improperly' meant 'not suitable', and 'linked' meant 'connected'. Together, they describe a connection that is not suitable or correct.
