Etymology
The word 'mistitled' combines the prefix 'mis-' meaning 'wrongly' or 'badly' with the past participle form of 'title,' which derives from the Latin word 'titulus', meaning 'inscription' or 'label'. The concept of titling a work can be traced back to ancient manuscripts, where titles were used to convey the contents or themes of the text. Over time, as literature and articles became more prevalent, ensuring the accuracy of a title became increasingly important. A mistitled work may lead to misinterpretation or lack of interest from potential readers, illustrating the significance of a title in effectively summarizing and representing the essence of the content. The term has emerged in modern usage as various media forms have developed, including books, articles, films, and academic papers, emphasizing the need for precise and truthful labeling.
