Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for agente, with forms such as "aegnte", "agenet", and "agennte".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ante", "aient", "amène", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, 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 agente, spelled A-G-E-N-T-E.
