A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around espessura (IPA /iʃ.pɨ.ˈsu.ɾɐ/), anoun. Corpus frequency is #12,055 among 1,279 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 6 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for espessura, with forms such as "epsessura", "esepssura", and "espessrua". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct Portuguese form is espessura, spelled E-S-P-E-S-S-U-R-A.
