Rare enough to double-check
inébriant is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \i.ne.bʁi.jɑ̃\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Qui enivre ; qui donne de l’ébriété.".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for inébriant, 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, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is inébriant, spelled I-N-É-B-R-I-A-N-T.
