Incorrect spelling, explanation: the double -r in this word is unnecessary because the correct form – around – is based on the adjective round, which is spelled with a single -r consonant. There is no need to double it when creating an adverb. Arround is not correct and we must stick to the version around.
Correct spelling, definition: the adverb around comes from the adjective round. It originates from Anglo-French rounde and Old French roont. To create this derivative, one must add the prefix -a to the beginning of a root. Since the word round is spelled with one -r, the correct form is around, not arround.
Definition of around:
1. adverb, in order to face in the opposite direction
