occured
/əˈkɜːd/
EN
A common misspelling of the past tense and past participle of the verb 'occur', meaning to have happened or taken place. The correct standard spelling is 'occurred', with double 'r' before the '-ed' ending.
The error occured when I tried to save the document to the external drive.
Etymology
This word is an irregular misspelling formed by adding the regular past tense suffix '-ed' to 'occur', failing to follow English spelling rules for doubling the final consonant before adding the suffix. The root 'occur' comes from Latin occurrere, meaning 'to run to meet'.
