Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the adjective incorrect, combining the Latin prefix in- (meaning 'not') with correctus, the past participle of corrigere (meaning 'to correct' or 'set straight'). The adverbial suffix -ly was later appended in Late Middle English to form a standard descriptor for actions performed erroneously.
