'wrongfully-transported' originates from the combination of 'wrongfully' and 'transported', where 'wrongfully' means 'in a manner that is unjust or illegal' and 'transported' means 'carried or moved from one place to another'.

'wrongfully' comes from Old English 'wrang' meaning 'injustice' and 'transported' from Latin 'transportare', meaning 'to carry across'.

Initially, 'wrongfully' meant 'in a manner that is unjust', and 'transported' meant 'carried across'. Together, they evolved to mean 'carried in an unjust manner'.
