The Latin prefix "mal -" means "bad" or "wrong". For the first question, "maltreat" combines "mal -" (bad) with "treat" (to act toward someone), so it means to treat someone badly. For the second question, "malformed" combines "mal -" (bad, wrong) with "forma" (shape), so it means misshapen or having a distorted shape.

Answer:

First question: to treat someone badly. Second question: misshapen; having a distorted shape.
