Etymology
'incorrectly-decided' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'decided', where 'incorrectly' is derived from 'incorrect', meaning 'not correct', and 'decided' is the past participle of 'decide', meaning 'to make a choice or judgment'.
'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin word 'incorrectus', and 'decided' from the Latin 'decidere', meaning 'to cut off'.
Initially, 'decide' meant 'to cut off' in Latin, but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to make a choice or judgment'.
