Etymology
'incorrectly-mixed' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'mixed', where 'incorrectly' is derived from Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'mixed' from Latin 'miscere', meaning 'to mix'.
'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin 'incorrectus' through Old French 'incorrigible', and 'mixed' from Latin 'miscere' through Old French 'mesler'.
Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'mixed' meant 'to blend'. Together, they evolved to describe something blended in a wrong manner.
