Où “marqué” se place dans la fréquence du français
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 9 spelling variants around marqué (IPA \maʁ.ke\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,046 among 5,038 “M” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for marqué, with forms such as "amrqué", "maqrué", and "marqqué". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "moqué", "morue", "masque", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is marqué, spelled M-A-R-Q-U-É.
