A misspelling magnet

The generator records 17 spelling variants around enseignants (IPA \ɑ̃.sɛ.ɲɑ̃\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,992 among 3,255 “E” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Masculin pluriel de enseignant.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for enseignants, with forms such as "enesignants", "ennseignants", and "enseginants". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 5 confusable-pair relationships, "enseignent", "enseignant", "enseignait", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is enseignants, spelled E-N-S-E-I-G-N-A-N-T-S.
