Rare enough to double-check
recommend is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as averb, transcribed [ˌɹɛkəˈmɛnd]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "empfehlen".
recommend doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, a straightforward case of a spelling with little room for common typos. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is recommend, spelled R-E-C-O-M-M-E-N-D.
