Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „derzeit“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 10 spelling variants around derzeit (IPA [ˈdeːɐ̯t͡saɪ̯t]), anadverb. Corpus frequency is #1,154 among 2,764 “D” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for derzeit, with forms such as "dderzeit", "derezit", and "derrzeit". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "dezent", "derlei", "derweil", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is derzeit, spelled D-E-R-Z-E-I-T.
