Origin:
late Middle English: from Latin incorrectus, from in- ‘not’ + correctus ‘made straight, amended’ (see correct). Originally in the general sense ‘uncorrected’, the word was later applied specifically to a book containing many errors because it had not been corrected for the press; hence incorrect (late 17th century)
