Etymology

The word 'mishandler' is a combination of the prefix 'mis-' meaning 'badly' or 'wrongly' and 'handler', which comes from the verb 'handle' meaning 'to touch or hold with the hands'. Therefore, 'mishandler' refers to someone who handles things badly or wrongly. The term has been in use since the late 19th century.
