Longue queue: rang de « otro » en français
Rare enough to double-check
otro is uncommon French at frequency #99,453 among 1,642 “O” headwords, classed as anadjective, transcribed \o.tɾo\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Autre.".
otro doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, a sign its spelling follows regular French conventions. 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.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, 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 otro, spelled O-T-R-O.
