The word "misregard" is a compound word formed by combining the prefix "mis-" and the noun "regard".
The prefix "mis-" in English is used to indicate a negative or incorrect action or state. It comes from Old English "mis-" and Middle English "mes-/mis-", which meant "wrongly", "badly", or "unfavorably". It has roots in Proto-Germanic and can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European language.
The noun "regard" originates from Middle English "regard(en)", which came from Old French "regarde(r)" meaning "to pay attention to" or "to consider". This Old French term, in turn, stems from a combination of Latin roots: "re-" meaning "again" or "back", and "guardare" meaning "to watch" or "to guard".
