deceptively shown
Etymology
'misleadingly-presented' originates from the combination of 'mislead' and 'present,' where 'mislead' meant 'to lead astray' and 'present' meant 'to show or display.'
'mislead' changed from the Old English word 'mislædan' and 'present' from the Latin word 'praesentare,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'misleadingly-presented.'
Initially, 'mislead' meant 'to lead astray,' and 'present' meant 'to show or display.' Over time, the combination evolved to mean 'presented in a deceptive manner.'
