Rare enough to double-check
verrotten is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as averb, transcribed \fɛɐ̯ˈʁɔtn̩\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Pourrir.".
verrotten doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, typically a sign the spelling maps closely to how the word sounds. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is verrotten, spelled V-E-R-R-O-T-T-E-N.
