erróneo
erroneous, wrong
adjective eh-RROH-neh-oh Rare
Origin: From Latin 'erroneus' (wandering, straying).
Usage Note
Erróneo means factually incorrect or mistaken — it applies to beliefs, data, or conclusions, not to actions (for those, equivocado or incorrecto is more natural). Note the double-r and the accent on the first o, which distinguishes it from the verb errar (to err). The adverb is erróneamente.
Examples
"La información publicada era errónea."
