Frequência do íman ortográfico “citação”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around citação, anoun. Corpus frequency is #7,882 among 2,140 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for citação, with forms such as "ccitação", "ciatção", and "citaãço". 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 also participates in 8 confusable-pair relationships, "citado", "coação", "coração", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct Portuguese form is citação, spelled C-I-T-A-Ç-Ã-O.
