Etymology of MISSPELLING

The word "misspelling" originates from the combination of two words: "miss" and "spelling".

The word "miss" comes from the Old English word "missan", which means "to fail" or "to go wrong". It has evolved over time and is still used in contemporary English to indicate error, mistake, or failure.

The word "spelling" comes from the Middle English word "spellen" or "spellian", which means "to write or talk about at length" or "to clarify the meaning of words". It eventually came to denote the arrangement and order of letters in a word.

So, when these two words are combined, "misspelling" refers to the act of incorrectly arranging or ordering letters in a word, resulting in a mistake or error in spelling.
