Correct spelling, explanation: the word daughter is borrowed from the German dochter, adapted to English standards. While the spelling is significantly different, you may notice that the o sound is reflected in the English au, and German ch is the gh sound in English, so when you think about it, the pronunciation itself did not change that much. But, in practice, if you ever struggle with the spelling, just remember to not make a dough out of your daughter.

Definition of daughter:
noun
1. A person’s female child
My daughter was born on a very rainy day two years ago; I will never forget this moment!
They have adopted two daughters in the past, and now they are expecting their first biological son.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the spelling of the word daughter may seem a little difficult. The word is based on the German dochter, so it may seem logical to also use o in the English word and spell it as doughter. But be careful! Think about the way you pronounce the word dough with the distinct ou sound, and notice it’s way different than daugh in daughter. This is a very important difference, so keep it in mind!
