description

Correct spelling, explanation: description is a noun that originates from Old French description, from Latin dēscrīptiō, noun of action of dēscrībō. The etymology makes it clear that it should be spelled with the -p consonant, not the -b consonant. Therefore, the only correct form is description, not describtion. It may be confusing to some people because of the verb describe.

Incorrect spelling

describtion

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the word describtion is not correct – it shouldn’t contain the -b letter. This mistake may come from the fact that the root of this noun (to describe) is spelled with the -b. The derivation is quite different in this regard. We must remember to replace this letter with the -p consonant to get the correct version, which is description.
