A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around resistent (IPA [ʁezɪsˈtɛnt]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #33,784 among 2,984 “R” headwords. Dominant gloss: "gegen negative Einflüsse widerstandsfähig".

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for resistent, with forms such as "ersistent", "reisstent", and "resisetnt". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "Resistenz", "reisten", "resident", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, 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 resistent, spelled R-E-S-I-S-T-E-N-T.
