comparison

Correct spelling, explanation: the word comparison comes from Latin comparationem as a noun of action, derivated from past participle stem of comparare. However, in Old English, the suffix ation was changed into aison and the word was used as comparaison. Next in Middle English, it was spelled as comparison and that is still today. Hence, only comparison is correct.

Definition of comparison:

Incorrect spelling

comparision

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the word comparison is a noun derived from the verb compare. The correct suffix added to the base is (i)son, not (i)sion. Therefore, the form comparision is wrong and there is no such word in English. However, in Old English, there was the form comparaison because the ending was a(i)son. This does not change the fact that comparision is written incorrectly and only comparison is used in English nowadays.
