Rare enough to double-check
nạc is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \nakˀ˧˨\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Maigre.".
No misspelling variants are generated for nạc in our index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
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 nạc, spelled N-Ạ-C.
