Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for tendrement, with forms such as "etndrement", "tednrement", and "tenddrement". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since nothing in our dataset looks or sounds close enough to cause mix-ups.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is tendrement, spelled T-E-N-D-R-E-M-E-N-T.
