Answer 4

It's "misspelling". You have to break it up into its prefix and the root, "mis" + "spelling".  But if you have it the other way, it wouldn't work - "mi" + "spelling". The prefix would not be complete.

Answer 5

the first one

otherwise its mis-pelling

Answer 6

Ironically, 'misspelling' is a word that is often misspelled.

The prefix is mis. The root is spell.

mis + spell = misspell

The same principle works with other words, such as misspent, misstated, unnerving, disservice, etc.

Answer 8

"Misspelling." You have the prefix "mis-" and then the word "spelling." If you had it like "mispelling," it would be "mi-" plus "spelling," and "mi-" doesn't mean anything.

Answer 9
