Where “estrangeiro” sits in Portuguese frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 16 spelling variants around estrangeiro (IPA /iʃ.tɾɐ̃.ˈʒɐj.ɾu/, /ʃtɾɐ̃.ˈʒɐj.ɾu/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,559 among 1,279 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for estrangeiro, with forms such as "esrtangeiro", "esstrangeiro", and "estarngeiro". 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. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct Portuguese form is estrangeiro, spelled E-S-T-R-A-N-G-E-I-R-O.
