'incorrectly-given' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'given', where 'incorrectly' is derived from Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'given' is from Old English 'giefan', meaning 'to bestow'.

'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin 'incorrectus' through Middle English 'incorrec', and 'given' from Old English 'giefan', eventually forming the modern English term 'incorrectly-given'.

Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'given' meant 'to bestow', but together they evolved to describe something provided in an incorrect manner.
