Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for irréversible, with forms such as "irreversible", "irrvéersible", and "irréevrsible".

It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "irréversibles", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is irréversible, spelled I-R-R-É-V-E-R-S-I-B-L-E.
