Etymology
'incorrectly-performed' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'performed'. 'Incorrectly' comes from the Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'performed' comes from the Old French 'parfournir', meaning 'to complete'.
'incorrectly' evolved from the Latin 'incorrectus' through Middle English, and 'performed' evolved from the Old French 'parfournir' to the modern English 'perform'.
Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'performed' meant 'to complete'. Over time, 'incorrectly-performed' evolved to mean 'executed in a manner that is not correct'.
