'unjustly-carried' originates from the combination of 'unjustly' and 'carried', where 'unjustly' is derived from 'unjust', meaning 'not based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair', and 'carried' is the past participle of 'carry', meaning 'to move something from one place to another'.

'unjustly' evolved from the Old French word 'injuste', and 'carried' comes from the Old English 'carian', which means 'to bear or transport'.

Initially, 'unjustly' meant 'not fair', and 'carried' meant 'moved or transported'. The combination retains the original meanings, indicating something moved in an unfair manner.
