The kanji 誤 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). The left side is a part related to words, speech (言 - gen). The right side is 吾 (go), which provides the sound and originally meant "I" or "we." The combination suggests words that are not the correct ones, or words that originate from the self (I) that are, potentially, mistaken. This signifies speech that is incorrect or a statement that contains a mistake. Over time, it evolved to represent the broader concept of error.
