eminently
Correct spelling, explanation: eminently is the correct form as in root Latin eminentem the m isn’t doubled. This points to eminently as the correct form, because there is no phonetic nor orthographic reason to double this letter. Therefore emminently is an incorrect spelling.
Definition of eminently:
adverb, very much
She was so eminently engaged in the help, it was very impressive.
It seems eminently reasonable to meet with them before signing the documents.
emminently
Incorrect spelling, explanation: there is no reason to spell eminently with double m, so emminently is a mistake. In the original Latin word eminentem there is also no double consonant m; we don’t have pronunciation reasons for that either. Therefore eminently is the correct spelling.
