A misspelling magnet

The generator records 21 spelling variants around multiplication (IPA \myl.ti.pli.ka.sjɔ̃\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #8,584 among 5,038 “M” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 21 likely wrong-spelling variants for multiplication, with forms such as "mlutiplication", "mmultiplication", and "mulitplication". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is multiplication, spelled M-U-L-T-I-P-L-I-C-A-T-I-O-N.
