Our Hunspell-derived misspelling index lists 17 documented wrong-spelling variants for integration, with forms such as "inetgration", "inntegration", and "integartion".

Etymologically, the entry records: From French intégration, from Latin integratio. Morphologically integrate + -ion. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is integration, spelled I-N-T-E-G-R-A-T-I-O-N, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
