A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around abcès (IPA \ap.sɛ\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #27,675 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for abcès, with forms such as "abbcès", "abccès", and "abces". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ace", "abe", "aes", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is abcès, spelled A-B-C-È-S.
