'misleadingly-displayed' originates from English, combining 'misleadingly' (from 'mislead,' where the prefix 'mis-' meant 'wrongly') and 'displayed' (past participle of 'display,' from Old French 'despleier' meaning 'to unfold/show').

'despleier' transformed into Middle English 'displaien' and eventually became the modern English 'display'; its past participle 'displayed' combines with 'misleadingly' in Modern English to form the hyphenated compound 'misleadingly-displayed'.

Initially, it conveyed the idea of something being shown wrongly or deceptively, and it now broadly means “presented in a way that misleads.”
