misstatement

/mɪˈsteɪtmənt/ noun

Something stated wrongly; a (usually unintentionally) incorrect statement.

Word Origin From 'mis-' 'wrong' and 'state' 'to declare' — a misstatement is a wrong statement. State comes from Latin 'status' 'standing', so to state is to set forth a position. The -ment suffix makes it a noun. Mis- appears in mistake, mislead, and misunderstand. So misstatement is a statement that stands wrongly.
