Etymology of UNCORRECT

The word "uncorrect" is derived from the prefix "un-" and the adjective "correct".

The prefix "un-" is a common prefix in the English language, which stems from Old English and has a negating or reversing effect on the word it is attached to. It effectively changes the meaning of the word to mean the opposite or the absence of the original meaning.

The term "correct" comes from the Latin word "correctus", which is the past participle of the verb "corrigere", meaning "to make straight, set right, adjust". It entered the English language through the Old French word "correct", mainly used in the 14th century with the sense "conforming to the rules of conduct or behavior".
