Rare enough to double-check
anfällig is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \ˈanfɛlɪç\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Sensible, fragile, sujet à toute sorte de problème, tel que la maladie, l’addiction (être vivant) ou la défaillance, la panne (objet).".
anfällig has no tracked misspelling variants, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is anfällig, spelled A-N-F-Ä-L-L-I-G.
