A misspelling magnet

The generator records 16 spelling variants around psychisch (IPA [ˈpsyːçɪʃ]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #7,976 among 3,409 “P” headwords. Dominant gloss: "die Psyche betreffend".

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for psychisch, with forms such as "ppsychisch", "pscyhisch", and "pssychisch". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "psychische", "psychischen", "psychischer", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is psychisch, spelled P-S-Y-C-H-I-S-C-H.
