Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for amador, with forms such as "aamdor", "amaddor", and "amadorr".

It also participates in 10 confusable-pair relationships, "amor", "amar", "âmago", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is amador, spelled A-M-A-D-O-R.
