Etymology
'inaccurately-represented' originates from the combination of 'inaccurate' and 'represented', where 'inaccurate' comes from Latin 'inaccuratus', meaning 'not done with care', and 'represented' from Latin 'repraesentare', meaning 'to present again'.
'inaccurate' changed from the Latin word 'inaccuratus' and 'represented' from 'repraesentare', eventually forming the modern English term 'inaccurately-represented'.
Initially, 'inaccurate' meant 'not done with care', and 'represented' meant 'to present again'. Over time, 'inaccurately-represented' evolved to mean 'described or depicted in a way that is not accurate'.
