misimpression

/mɪsɪmˈpɹɛʃən/ noun

An inaccurate or misleading impression

Word Origin Impression comes from Latin imprimere 'to press into' — like pressing a seal into wax. A misimpression is a wrong impression, a mistaken stamp on the mind. The press family is huge: express (press out), depress (press down), suppress (press under), all from that idea of pressing.
