'wrongly-answered' originates from the combination of 'wrongly,' meaning 'incorrectly,' and 'answered,' the past participle of 'answer,' which comes from Old English 'andswaru,' meaning 'a response or reply.'

'andswaru' transformed into the Middle English word 'answere,' and eventually became the modern English word 'answer.'

Initially, 'andswaru' meant 'a response or reply,' and over time, it evolved into its current meaning of 'to respond to a question or statement.'
