There's also the prefix 'mis-', which gives the meaning of the root being wrong, incorrect, or off the mark.
So, does misi mean "to miss/be wrong" ?
And given the suffix 'ilo' for a tool of the root...
Doesn't misilo also mean "a tool for which to miss"?
Seems funny if so!

EldanarLambetur:So the word misilo means a guided missile.The word is not official, so you don't have to use it. It is some at hoc English to esperanto conversion without taking care of consequences pointed by you. I would prefer:

gvidita raketo
gvidpafajxo
gvidraketo
or simply
raketo
Many such words spoil Esperanto, what Claude Piron pointed out in his articles.
If I had to use it, I would prefer
misajlo
because it doesn't refer to mis- and -il. Of course there is some connection with ajlo (garlic), but it is tolerably distant.

It is a wonder that you can understand each other speaking English.
A perfect language doesn't exist - if there was one, it would be too difficult for everyone to speak.
gvidraketo = little rack that shows the way
gvidita raketo = remotely controlled little rack
gvidpafajxo = a projectile directing the army
and so on and on and on again...

(Because you know, if someone saw you laughing randomly out loud like that, they'd think you had lost your sanity, or something like that)
