Etymology
'mistakenly-expired' is a compound word formed from 'mistakenly' and 'expired'. 'Mistakenly' originates from 'mistake', which comes from Old Norse 'mistaka', meaning 'to take in error'. 'Expired' comes from Latin 'exspirare', meaning 'to breathe out'.
'Mistakenly' evolved from Middle English 'mistaken', while 'expired' evolved from Middle English 'expiren'.
Initially, 'expired' meant 'to breathe out', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to become invalid'.
