Correct spelling, explanation: the word surround is derived from the combination of the prefix sur- (meaning around or on all sides) and round (meaning circular or encompassing). It functions primarily as a verb and sometimes as a noun, depending on the context. The spelling suround (with only one -r) is incorrect and likely a typographical error.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the form suround is a mistake because it breaks the correct spelling rule of the English word surround. The word surround comes from the prefix sur- (meaning around) and the word round. When these components are combined, the double -r is retained to maintain the proper structure and pronunciation. The mistake often occurs because people may accidentally omit the second -r, which results in the incorrect suround.
