Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for accessible, with forms such as "accesible", "accesisble", and "accessbile". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "accessibles", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is accessible, spelled A-C-C-E-S-S-I-B-L-E.
