Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for originaire, with forms such as "oirginaire", "orgiinaire", and "origginaire". 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 4 confusable-pair relationships, "originale", "originalité", "originaires", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is originaire, spelled O-R-I-G-I-N-A-I-R-E.
