Incorrect spelling, explanation: recipient is based on the word receive. It may seem counterintuitive, but this is true. So, based on that and on the structure of the base word, you can see that recipient is much more fitting to the pronunciation of the base word. While spelling recepient with e may seem convincing, notice that the diphthong ie is read like a long i, so the spelling with i is much more fitting.

Correct spelling, explanation: recipient comes from the Latin recipere. The suffix changed when the word was assimilated into English, to -ent took the place of the Latin -ere, but besides that, the core part of the word did not – and shouldn’t – change. So, based on the Latin predecessor, keep in mind that recipient is the correct spelling.
