Correct spelling, explanation: the word approach comes from Old French aprochier, aprocher, from ecclesiastical Latin appropiare (draw near), from ad- ‘to’ + propius (comparative of prope near). It should always be spelled with the double -p consonant. It’s a very commonly used word in both British and American English. Remember that aproach is just a mistake because the second letter of this word must be doubled.
Definition of approach:
1. verb, to move closer to someone or something, or to come closer in time or amount

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the word aproach is not correct, because this version lacks the second -p letter. You need to know that it should be spelled as approach – with the double -p. Many nouns and verbs in English are built in a similar way. This mistake may come from plain carelessness. Try to remember that approach is the only correct form and aproach is not.
