Etymology
'wrongfully-moved' originates from the combination of 'wrongfully,' derived from 'wrong,' and 'moved,' from the Old English 'mōfan,' meaning 'to change position.'
'wrongfully' evolved from the Old English 'wrang,' meaning 'injustice,' and 'moved' from 'mōfan,' eventually forming the modern English term 'wrongfully-moved.'
Initially, 'wrongfully' meant 'in a wrong manner,' and 'moved' meant 'to change position.' Over time, it evolved to mean 'moved in an unjust or illegal manner.'
