Word origin
The word 'misrepresented' originated from the combination of 'mis-' meaning 'wrongly' or 'badly' and 'represent', which comes from the Latin word 'repraesentare' meaning 'to present, show, or portray'. The term has been used in English since the late 18th century to describe the act of presenting someone or something in a false or misleading way.
