Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for uniquement, with forms such as "nuiquement", "uinquement", and "uniqeument". 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. This entry stands alone in our confusable 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 best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is uniquement, spelled U-N-I-Q-U-E-M-E-N-T.
