recieve
/rɪˈsiːv/
EN
A common misspelling of the verb 'receive', which means to be given or presented with something, or to experience something; the incorrect spelling follows the false generalization of the 'i before e except after c' spelling rule.
I always recieve spam emails in my junk folder, because I misspell my email address when signing up for accounts.
Etymology
This misspelling originates from confusion around English spelling rules, particularly the 'i before e except after c' mnemonic that is incorrectly applied to this word; the correct spelling 'receive' comes from Middle English receiven, Old French receivre, and Latin recipere.
