Incorrect spelling, explanation: the right word is a mix of verb and suffix. Describe (to explain how something looks, for example) + ion (typical suffix used for creating a noun from a verb or an adjective) = description, not discription.
Correct spelling, explanation: as a word is a combination of the verb describe (to characterize, present something) and a suffix -ion (used for making nouns from adjectives or verbs), it is mistaken to change the middle vowel e into i, therefore discription is incorrect spelling.
