It also participates in 8 confusable-pair relationships, "avoit", "aurait", "auront", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, 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 adroit, spelled A-D-R-O-I-T.
