Morphology
misadministration = administration (transparent) = mis + administration
The medical sense is a specific application but still transparently built from 'mis-' + 'administration' (incorrect giving/application).
Etymology
The word misadministration is made of mis- meaning 'wrong' and administration from administer meaning 'to give', especially when you 'give medicine'. So a misadministration in a clinic is when a drug or vaccine is given the wrong amount or in the wrong way.
