A misspelling magnet

It also participates in 5 confusable-pair relationships, "erweiterter", "erweitertes", "erweitert", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct German form is erweiterten, spelled E-R-W-E-I-T-E-R-T-E-N.
