Where “précaires” sits in French frequency
A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for précaires, with forms such as "pprécaires", "prcéaires", and "precaires". 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, "préparés", "précisés", "primaires", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, 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 précaires, spelled P-R-É-C-A-I-R-E-S.
