The correct spelling of the word "in tending" is "intending". The word is pronounced as /ɪnˈtɛndɪŋ/, where the stress is on the second syllable. The word means having a plan or a purpose to do something. The confusion in spelling may arise due to the silent 'd' in the word, making it easy to mix up with 'in tending', which is not a word. Correct spelling is crucial in conveying the intended meaning of any text.
