fehl-

1. A verb and noun prefix: mis-, erroneous, faulty

   Synonym: miss-

   ‎fehl- + ‎Entscheidung (“decision”) → ‎Fehlentscheidung (“wrong decision”)

   ‎fehl- + ‎interpretieren (“interpret”) → ‎fehlinterpretieren (“misinterpret”)

• Fehl- is commoner with nouns and miss- with verbs. This tendency is not reliable, however, particularly as related nouns and verbs obviously influence each other.
