A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for abuse, with forms such as "abbuse", "absue", and "abuce".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ase", "aus", "Auge", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Spanish form is abuse, spelled A-B-U-S-E.
