Etymology
'incorrectly-combined' originates from the English words 'incorrectly' and 'combined', where 'incorrectly' means 'in a wrong manner' and 'combined' means 'joined together'.
'incorrectly' and 'combined' were used separately in Middle English and eventually merged to form the modern English term 'incorrectly-combined'.
Initially, it meant 'joined together in a wrong manner', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
