Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for romance, with forms such as "ormance", "rmoance", and "roamnce". 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 also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "relance", where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is romance, spelled R-O-M-A-N-C-E.
