'Incompetent' evolved from Latin 'incompetentem' through Old French 'incompetent', while 'executed' evolved from Latin 'executus' through Old French 'executer'.
Initially, 'incompetent' meant 'not suitable', and 'executed' meant 'carried out'. Together, they evolved to mean 'performed without skill'.
