It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "voluntarios", "voluntaria", "voluntarias", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Spanish form is voluntario, spelled V-O-L-U-N-T-A-R-I-O.
