Etymology of MISAPPROPRIATED

The word "misappropriated" is derived from the combination of two words: "mis" and "appropriate".

1. "Mis": It stems from the Old English prefix "mis-" which denotes a sense of "wrong" or "badly". It has its roots in the Old English word "mis" or "miss" meaning "error" or "fault".

2. "Appropriate": It originates from the Late Latin word "appropriare", which means "to make one's own" or "to assign to a particular person or purpose". This Latin term is formed by combining "ad", meaning "to" or "towards", and "proprius", meaning "one's own" or "belonging to oneself".

By combining these two elements, "mis" and "appropriate", the term "misappropriated" emerged to describe the act of wrongly or improperly assigning or using something, particularly funds or resources.
