Rare enough to double-check
abnormal is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \ˈapnɔʁmaːl\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Anormal.".
Our edit-distance generator produced no likely misspellings for abnormal, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is abnormal, spelled A-B-N-O-R-M-A-L.
