Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for quotidien, with forms such as "qoutidien", "qquotidien", and "quoitdien". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 2 confusable-pair relationships, "quotidiens", "quotidienne", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 quotidien, spelled Q-U-O-T-I-D-I-E-N.
