A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around Hysterie (IPA [hʏsteˈʁiː]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #19,609 among 3,372 “H” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Hysterie, with forms such as "hhysterie", "hsyterie", and "hysetrie". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "Historie", where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.

Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Hysterie appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
„Die Hysterie ist eine Bezeichnung für eine neurotische Störung, bei der Geltungsbedürfnis, Egozentrismus und ein Bedürfnis nach Anerkennung zwar im Vordergrund stehen, die jedoch oft mit dem Symbol eines Paradiesvogels in Verbindung gebracht wird, da sie zu differenziert ist und dadurch kein einheitliches Erscheinungsbild aufweist.“
„Erst als den wilden Gerüchten keinerlei amtliche Bestätigungen folgten und durchsickerte, dass alle festgenommenen vermeintlichen Agenten binnen Kurzem wieder auf freiem Fuß waren, milderte die Hysterie sich deutlich.“
