Etymology of MISREPRESENT

The word misrepresent is derived from the combination of two words: mis- and represent.

1. Mis- is a prefix used to indicate a negative or improper meaning. It comes from the Old English word mis meaning wrong or astray.

2. Represent comes from the Latin word repraesentare, which is a combination of the prefix re- (meaning back or again) and the word praesentare (meaning to present). Thus, represent originally meant to present again or to present in another form.

When these two words are combined, misrepresent is formed, which means to present something incorrectly or inaccurately, or to give a false or misleading representation of something.
