'incorrectly-stated' originates from the combination of 'incorrectly' and 'stated', where 'incorrectly' is derived from Latin 'incorrectus', meaning 'not corrected', and 'stated' from Latin 'status', meaning 'position or condition'.

'incorrectus' transformed into the Old French 'incorrigible', and eventually became the modern English word 'incorrect'. 'Status' evolved into the Old French 'estat', leading to the modern English 'state'.

Initially, 'incorrectly' meant 'not corrected', and 'stated' meant 'position or condition'. Over time, 'incorrectly-stated' evolved to mean 'expressed inaccurately'.
