Where does “misdemeanor” come from?

I need to work through this etymology chain carefully, but I notice the chain provided seems problematic or unclear. Let me identify the issues: 1. The chain lists "Middle English mis-" as coming from Proto-Indo-European, which is incorrect 2. The chain has "Latin dis-" listed twice 3. The chain has "Latin ex" listed twice 4. "Latin ex" doesn't lead to "mis-" in English This chain doesn't appear to trace "misdemeanor" accurately. The actual etymology would be: - English "misdemeanor" = "mis-" (badly) + "demeanor" (conduct/bearing) - "mis-" comes from Old English "mis-" - "demeanor" comes from Old French "demener" meaning to conduct/behave Given the instruction to "state only what the chain supports" and that the provided chain doesn't correctly support the etymology
