Rare enough to double-check
contrito is uncommon Portuguese outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed /kõ.ˈtɾi.tu/. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "pesaroso".
contrito doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable Portuguese patterns. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is contrito, spelled C-O-N-T-R-I-T-O.
