Rare enough to double-check
Bobsport is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anoun, transcribed [ˈbɔpˌʃpɔʁt]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Sportart, bei der ein Bob verwendet wird".
Bobsport has no tracked misspelling variants, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is Bobsport, spelled B-O-B-S-P-O-R-T.
