Rare enough to double-check
natio is uncommon French at frequency #63,951 among 1,563 “N” headwords, classed as anadjective, transcribed \na.ˈtio\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Natif.".
natio has no tracked misspelling variants, suggesting the orthography follows predictable French patterns. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct French form is natio, spelled N-A-T-I-O.
