Spelling & Dictionary Insight

The German entry for coucher is 7 letters long, classified as averb, and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as [kuʃe]. It sits outside the most-frequent rank tiers, which is often why uncommon words generate more spelling variants per reader.Wiktionary records 23 distinct senses for this headword, so context determines which meaning a reader should apply.

No frequent misspelling variants are recorded for coucher in our index, suggesting the orthography either follows predictable German patterns or the word is uncommon enough that typo corpora lack signal.It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is coucher, spelled C-O-U-C-H-E-R, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
