misrecognition

/mɪsˌɹɛkəɡˈnɪʃən/ noun

incorrect recognition

Word Origin Recognition comes from Latin re- 'again' and cognoscere 'to know'—so it's knowing again, identifying. Misrecognition is when you get that wrong, a faulty identification. The root cognoscere also gives us cognition, incognito (not known), and diagnosis (knowing through).
