Etymology
The word 'misshapen' originated from Middle English in the late 14th century. It combines the prefix 'mis-' meaning 'badly' or 'wrongly' with 'shapen', the past participle of 'shape'. Over the centuries, 'misshapen' has been used to describe objects, plants, and even human features that deviate from the expected or usual form. Its usage has evolved to convey a sense of abnormality or deformity.
