Etymology: The verb "correct" is a textbook case of a word that began as a physical instruction. Its Latin ancestor, "corrigere", meant "to make straight" or "to set right", built from "con-" ("together") and a form of "regere", "to rule or guide." Think of a carpenter straightening a warped plank: the sense was literal before it became moral or intellectual. The word reached English through French. Anglo-Norman "correcter" passed into Middle English as "correcten", and the Latin past participle "correctus", meaning "improved" or "amended", supplied the form that gave us the modern verb. So "corrected" is simply the past tense of that verb, describing an error that has been set straight.
