erroneously

/ɛˈɹoʊniəsɫi/ adv

Incorrectly.

Word Origin From Latin 'errare' 'to wander' — erroneously means 'in a mistaken, wandering way.' The idea is that an error is a straying from the right path. The same root gives us erratic (wandering unpredictably) and aberrant (straying from normal). So to err is literally to wander off course.
