'incorrectly-approved' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'approved'. 'Incorrectly' comes from the Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'approved' comes from the Latin 'approbare', meaning 'to assent to'.

'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin 'incorrectus' through Old French 'incorrigible', and 'approved' evolved from the Latin 'approbare' through Old French 'aprover'.

Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'approved' meant 'to assent to'. Over time, 'incorrectly-approved' came to mean something that was accepted in an improper manner.
