Etymology
'incorrectly-confirmed' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'confirmed'. 'Incorrectly' comes from the Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'confirmed' comes from the Latin 'confirmare', meaning 'to strengthen' or 'to establish'.
'incorrectly-confirmed' evolved from the combination of the words 'incorrectly' and 'confirmed', which have been used in English since the late Middle Ages.
Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'confirmed' meant 'to establish'. Together, they now mean 'established in an incorrect manner'.
