Etymology

From the fusion of Middle English misbidden (to mistreat; equivalent to mis- + bid) and Middle English misbeden (“to mistreat; abuse; outrage; offend; insult”), from Old English misbēodan (“to ill-use, injure, do wrong to, announce wrongly”), equivalent to mis- + bid (“to offer, declare”).
