Our edit-distance generator produced no likely misspellings for metaphorisch, 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, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is metaphorisch, spelled M-E-T-A-P-H-O-R-I-S-C-H.
