Etymology
'wrongly-conducted' originates from the combination of 'wrongly' and 'conducted'. 'Wrongly' comes from Old English 'wrang', meaning 'wrong', and 'conducted' is derived from Latin 'conductus', meaning 'led or guided'.
'Wrongly' evolved from Old English 'wrang', and 'conducted' from Latin 'conductus', through Middle English 'conduiten', eventually forming the modern English term 'wrongly-conducted'.
Initially, 'wrongly' meant 'in a wrong manner', and 'conducted' meant 'led or guided'. Together, they evolved to mean 'performed incorrectly'.
