misleadingly

/mɪˈsɫidɪŋɫi/ adv

In a misleading manner.

Word Origin The prefix mis- from Old English means 'wrongly' — so misleadingly is doing something in a way that leads you astray. That mis- prefix is a great example of how English builds negative words: misbehave, misjudge, misplace, misread, misspell, mistake, misunderstand — all carry that sense of error. The root lead is from Old English lædan 'to guide,' so misleadingly literally means 'guiding wrongly.'
