Root Explanation

Misrelated → It is formed from "mis-" (meaning wrongly or badly) and "related" (from Latin "relatus", meaning brought back or connected). The word "misrelated" means incorrectly connected or associated.

Memory Tip

Think of 'mis-' meaning wrongly, and 'related' meaning connected — so misrelated refers to something that is wrongly connected.
