'missile-based' originates from the word 'missile,' which comes from the Latin word 'missilis,' meaning 'that may be thrown,' and 'based,' which is derived from the Old French 'baser,' meaning 'to build or establish.'

'missile' changed from the Latin word 'missilis' to the modern English word 'missile,' and 'based' evolved from the Old French 'baser' to the modern English 'based.'

Initially, 'missile' meant 'that may be thrown,' but over time it evolved to refer to a self-propelled weapon, and 'based' has retained its meaning of 'established on.'
