Langschwanz-Rang von „kaduk“ im Deutschen
Rare enough to double-check
kaduk is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [kaˈduːk]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "hinfällig, gebrechlich, verfallen".
kaduk doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is kaduk, spelled K-A-D-U-K.
