Etymology
'incorrectly-restored' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'restored'. 'Incorrectly' comes from the Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'restored' comes from the Latin 'restaurare', meaning 'to renew'.
'incorrectly-restored' combines the adverb 'incorrectly' with the past participle 'restored', forming a compound adjective.
Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not correct', and 'restored' meant 'brought back to a former condition'. Together, they describe something returned to a previous state inaccurately.
