Etymology of MISSPELL

The word "misspell" is derived from the combination of two words: "miss" and "spell".

The term "miss" originated from the Old English word "missan", which meant to "fail to hit" or "go wrong". It later evolved to also mean "to fail to attain" or "to make a mistake". "Miss" is commonly used in words like "mistake", "misunderstand", or "misinterpret".

The word "spell" has roots in both Old English and Old High German. In Old English, it was "spellian", meaning "to tell, speak, or recite". In Old High German, it was "spellon" with a similar meaning. Both words ultimately derive from the Proto-Germanic word "spellōną".
