Incorrect spelling, explanation: this is a mistaken form. Senior is a word created by combining Latin senex (old man) and the comparative suffix -or. Therefore senoir is incorrect. Additionally, this spelling would suggest different pronunciation (something along with [se-nuh-wa:]).
Correct spelling, explanation: this word comes from a Latin word meaning old man: senex with adjective comparatives suffix -or added. This fact points to the spelling senior. Moreover, senoir would be pronounced differently: [se-nuh-wa:], while senior is pronounced [seen-yer].
