Surface Forms

Morphology

mismark = mark (transparent) = mis + mark

The meaning is directly derived from the productive prefix 'mis-' (wrongly) + 'mark' meaning a label or sign, so learners can infer 'incorrect mark'.

Etymology

Mismark comes from the prefix mis- meaning 'wrong' and mark meaning 'label' or 'sign', the same 'mis-' you see in mistake. So a mismark is simply a 'wrong label' that can make packages or items go to the wrong place.
