performed wrongly
Etymology
'incorrectly-done' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'done', where 'incorrectly' is derived from the Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'done' is the past participle of 'do', from Old English 'don'.
'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin 'incorrectus' through Middle English 'incorrec', and 'done' from Old English 'don', eventually forming the modern English term 'incorrectly-done'.
Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'done' meant 'completed'. Together, they evolved to mean 'performed in a wrong manner'.
