Rare enough to double-check

intrepid has no tracked misspelling variants, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is intrepid, spelled I-N-T-R-E-P-I-D.
