Incorrect spelling

bouffet

Incorrect spelling, explanation: people may confuse buffet with bouffet, because the word buffet comes from French, where it is pronounced [by-FAY], and people might mistakenly believe bouffet is a more accurate French spelling. However, bouffet is incorrect; the French word bouffée (meaning puff or breath) might contribute to this confusion. If you see bouffet, it’s likely a typographical error or a misunderstanding of the word’s proper form.


Correct spelling

buffet

Correct spelling, explanation: the word buffet comes from Old French buffet, meaning stool or bench. Over time, it evolved to refer to a piece of furniture for displaying or serving food. Later, in English, it expanded to mean a meal where food is set out for self-service. Bouffet doesn’t exist as a standard French or English word but may be confused with bouffé, derived from the French verb bouffer (to puff), meaning a puff, breath, or gust. While buffet has a solid place in both English and French, bouffet is likely a mistaken or creative reinterpretation, possibly influenced by bouffée.
