'wrongly-adjusted' originates from the combination of 'wrongly,' meaning 'in an incorrect manner,' and 'adjusted,' meaning 'altered or moved to achieve a desired fit or function.'

'Wrongly' comes from Old English 'wrang,' meaning 'crooked or twisted,' and 'adjusted' comes from the Latin 'adjuxtare,' meaning 'to bring into proper position.'

Initially, 'wrongly' meant 'in a twisted manner,' but over time it evolved to mean 'incorrectly.' 'Adjusted' has largely retained its meaning of 'altered for fit or function.'
