Correct spelling, explanation: this spelling is correct because it originates from the French suffix teur (-or in Latin; amator, someone who loves). Due to French spelling and amateur being direct loanword from this language, this is the only correct spelling and amatuer is incorrect.
Definition of amateur:
noun, someone who likes doing something very much; someone who is a beginner in a field or has poor skills in it
He is an amateur but he still has fun playing football.
Simon is an amateur in French cuisine; he could eat only French food.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect, because the correct word, amateur comes from Latin amator (from amare, to love) and directly from its French version, which is exactly spelled amateur. This is the reason why amatuer is a misspelling.
