A misspelling magnet

The generator records 18 spelling variants around étymologique (IPA \e.ti.mɔ.lɔ.ʒik\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #34,831 among 1,805 “É” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Qui a rapport à l’étymologie.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 18 likely wrong-spelling variants for étymologique, with forms such as "etymologique", "téymologique", and "étmyologique". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "étymologie", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is étymologique, spelled É-T-Y-M-O-L-O-G-I-Q-U-E.
