Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Interpol, with forms such as "inetrpol", "innterpol", and "inteprol". 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, "interpose", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is Interpol, spelled I-N-T-E-R-P-O-L.
