Etymology
'incorrectly-repaired' originates from the English words 'incorrectly' and 'repaired', where 'incorrectly' means 'in a wrong manner' and 'repaired' means 'fixed or mended'.
'incorrectly-repaired' combines the adverb 'incorrectly' with the past participle 'repaired' to form an adjective describing the state of being fixed improperly.
Initially, 'repaired' meant 'fixed or mended', but when combined with 'incorrectly', it evolved to mean 'fixed in a wrong manner'.
