Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for mártir, with forms such as "mmártir", "mrátir", and "máritr".

It also participates in 14 confusable-pair relationships, "matar", "mater", "matiz", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is mártir, spelled M-Á-R-T-I-R.
