Etymology
'incorrectly-changed' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'changed', where 'incorrectly' is derived from Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'changed' from Old French 'changier', meaning 'to alter'.
'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin 'incorrectus' through Middle English 'incorrec', and 'changed' from Old French 'changier' to the modern English 'change'.
Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'changed' meant 'altered'. Together, they convey the idea of being altered in a wrong manner.
