Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Middle English verb 'misdemeanen' (to conduct oneself badly), combining the prefix 'mis-' (badly or wrongly) with the Old French 'demener' (to lead or conduct). It developed the legal suffix '-ant' in the 17th century to specifically designate a person who has committed a misdemeanor.
