incorrect provision
Etymology
'wrongly-supplied' originates from the combination of 'wrongly,' meaning 'in an incorrect manner,' and 'supplied,' the past participle of 'supply,' which comes from Latin 'supplere,' meaning 'to fill up.'
'supplere' transformed into the Old French word 'soupleer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'supply' through Middle English.
Initially, 'supply' meant 'to fill up or complete,' but over time it evolved to mean 'to provide or furnish something.'
