'misleadingly-expressed' originates from the combination of 'mislead' and 'express,' where 'mislead' meant 'to lead astray' and 'express' meant 'to convey a thought or feeling.'

'mislead' changed from the Old English word 'mislædan' and 'express' from the Latin word 'expressus,' eventually forming the modern English term 'misleadingly-expressed.'

Initially, 'mislead' meant 'to lead astray,' and 'express' meant 'to convey,' evolving into the current meaning of 'expressed in a misleading manner.'
