misteach
English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle English mistechen, from Old English mistǣċan (“to teach amiss, teach falsely”), equivalent to mis- + teach.
Verb
[edit]misteach (third-person singular simple present misteaches, present participle misteaching, simple past and past participle mistaught)
- To teach incorrectly.
- 1989 April 22, Jay Reed, “Naming and Confronting Gay Male Battering”, in Gay Community News, page 9:
- Men are mistaught many things: that violence and control of others are acceptable, that they are strong and therefore entitled to be violent. Similarly they are taught that they are not victims; that they can and should take care of themselves. For gay men, this heritage can lead to violence in their relationships and denial about their victimization.
