Incorrect spelling, explanation: the word continuous causes some trouble when it comes to spelling as many English users tend to forget about the first -u letter. As a result, a common mistake is to spell the word as continous instead of continuous. The former version is wrong, though, so next time you spell the word, make sure you write it correctly.

Correct spelling, explanation: the origin of the word continuous can be found in Latin words con and tenere, which later formed one-word continere, with the meaning of hanging together. Later, the word got the form continuus and the meaning of uninterrupted. Finally, in the 17th century, it entered the English language as continuous.
