'wrongly-cancelled' originates from the combination of 'wrongly,' meaning 'in an incorrect manner,' and 'cancelled,' the past participle of 'cancel,' meaning 'to annul or invalidate.'

'wrongly' comes from Old English 'wrang,' meaning 'wrong,' and 'cancelled' comes from Latin 'cancellare,' meaning 'to cross out with lines.'

Initially, 'cancelled' meant 'to cross out with lines,' but over time it evolved to mean 'to annul or invalidate.'
