Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for Gendarmerie, with forms such as "egndarmerie", "gednarmerie", and "genadrmerie". 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 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.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is Gendarmerie, spelled G-E-N-D-A-R-M-E-R-I-E.
