Morphology

misrelated = related (transparent) = mis + relate + ed

The productive prefix 'mis-' meaning 'wrongly' attaches to the adjective 'related' producing the expected meaning 'incorrectly related'.

Etymology

Misrelated comes from the prefix mis- meaning 'wrong', the same mis- you see in mistake, and the verb relate meaning 'to connect' or 'to tell'. So misrelated describes something that has been 'connected' the wrong way, which is why it means 'incorrectly or mistakenly related'.
