Cauda longa: rank de “weiß” em português
Rare enough to double-check
weiß is uncommon Portuguese outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed /vaɪ̯s/. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "branco".
Zero misspellings are on record for weiß in our index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable Portuguese rules. 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.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is weiß, spelled W-E-I-S-S.
