Rare enough to double-check
leidig is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ˈlaɪ̯dɪç]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "in der Art und Weise des Leids; so, dass es zu Leid, zu Ungemach führt; ärgerlich; lästig; unangenehm".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for leidig, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
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 leidig, spelled L-E-I-D-I-G.
