Etymology
'wrongly-announced' originates from the combination of 'wrongly' and 'announce', where 'wrongly' means 'incorrectly' and 'announce' means 'to make known publicly'.
'wrongly-announced' evolved from the Middle English word 'wrong' and the Old French word 'anuncier', eventually becoming the modern English phrase 'wrongly-announced'.
Initially, it meant 'to announce something in a wrong manner', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
