Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for afición, with forms such as "afciión", "affición", and "aficción".

It also participates in 10 confusable-pair relationships, "aviación", "ambición", "audición", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Spanish form is afición, spelled A-F-I-C-I-Ó-N.
