'incorrectly-measured' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'measured'. 'Incorrectly' comes from the Latin 'incorrectus', where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'correctus' meant 'set right'. 'Measured' comes from the Latin 'mensurare', where 'mensura' meant 'measure'.

'incorrectly-measured' evolved from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'measured', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.

Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not correct', and 'measured' meant 'to ascertain the size or amount'. Together, they evolved to mean 'measured in a way that is not accurate'.
