'misverify' originates from the prefix 'mis-' meaning 'wrongly' and the verb 'verify' from Latin 'verificare', where 'verus' meant 'true' and 'facere' meant 'to make'.

'verify' changed from the Old French word 'verifier' and eventually became the modern English word 'verify'.

Initially, 'verify' meant 'to make true', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to confirm the truth of something'.
