It also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "estrito", "esteio", "escrito", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is estreito, spelled E-S-T-R-E-I-T-O.
