misbinding = binding (transparent) = mis + bind + ing

Formed by prefixing the productive negative/error prefix 'mis-' to 'binding' to indicate an incorrect association.

Etymology

Misbinding comes from mis- 'wrong' and bind 'to tie' or 'attach'. Think of it as 'tying the wrong name to a box': in software a misbinding is when a name, variable, or resource is attached to the wrong value, causing errors.
