Etymology
'incorrectly-cancelled' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'cancelled', where 'incorrectly' is derived from Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'cancelled' from Latin 'cancellare', meaning 'to cross out'.
'incorrectly-cancelled' evolved from the combination of the words 'incorrectly' and 'cancelled', which have been used in English since the 15th century.
Initially, 'cancelled' meant 'to cross out', but over time it evolved to mean 'to annul or invalidate', and 'incorrectly' has maintained its meaning of 'not correct'.
