Fréquence de l'aimant d'erreurs « plausible »
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 13 spelling variants around plausible (IPA \plo.zibl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #15,963 among 6,826 “P” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Qui a une apparence de vérité ; qui est accepté ou admis jusqu’à preuve du contraire.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for plausible, with forms such as "lpausible", "palusible", and "plasuible". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "plausibles", "paisible", "passible", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is plausible, spelled P-L-A-U-S-I-B-L-E.
