Where “content” sits in French frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around content (IPA \kɔ̃.tɑ̃\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #1,514 among 8,609 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for content, with forms such as "ccontent", "cnotent", and "conetnt". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "contes", "conter", "contrat", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is content, spelled C-O-N-T-E-N-T.
Definition

Je suis content qu’ils content ces histoires.
Personne, parmi les femmes du douar, ne songea à lui demander si elle était contente de ce mariage. On la donnait à Elaour, comme on l’eût donnée à tout autre musulman. C’était dans l’ordre des choses, et il n’y avait là aucune raison d’être contente outre mesure, ni non plus de se désoler.
