Rare enough to double-check
gastro- is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as aprefix, transcribed \ɡas.tʁo\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. 2 senses are on record.
gastro- has no tracked misspelling variants, since its letter sequence doesn't invite the usual edit-distance slips. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is gastro-, spelled G-A-S-T-R-O--.
