Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'incorrectus', combining the negative prefix 'in-' (not) and 'correctus', the past participle of 'corrigere' (to make straight, to correct). It entered Middle English and Late Middle French during the 15th century, shifting in meaning from morally flawed to factually or procedurally erroneous.
