Rare enough to double-check
tão is uncommon Spanish outside the top frequency list, classed as anadverb. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Tan.".
tão doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
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 Spanish form is tão, spelled T-Ã-O.
