Etymology of MISMATCHED

The word "mismatched" is a combination of two words: "mis-" and "matched".

The prefix "mis-" comes from Old English "mis-", which means "wrongly" or "badly". It is used to indicate something done incorrectly or inappropriately.

The verb "match" comes from Old English "gemæccan" and originally meant "to marry" or "to join together". Over time, it came to mean "to put together" or "to combine".

When the prefix "mis-" is added to "matched", it creates the adjective "mismatched", meaning "not properly or correctly matched", "incompatible", or "inharmonious".
