'incorrectly-announced' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'announced', where 'incorrectly' is derived from 'incorrect', meaning 'not correct', and 'announced' is the past participle of 'announce', meaning 'to make known publicly'.
'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin word 'incorrectus', and 'announce' from the Latin 'annuntiare', eventually forming the modern English term 'incorrectly-announced'.
Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not correct', and 'announce' meant 'to make known'. Together, they evolved to mean 'announced in a wrong manner'.
