Correct spelling, explanation: address is a correct spelling of a word based on Latin ad- + directus. It appeared in English around the XVI century from Anglo-French adrescer, adresser. Address is more similar in spelling to the Latin ancestor. Version adress with one d is a misspelling and therefore is not correct.
