Incorrect spelling, explanation: learners of English sometimes use the form encorporate instead of incorporate, but it is incorrect. The mistake probably comes from the pronunciation as the prefix -in often sounds as -en, especially in fast speech.
Correct spelling, explanation: incorporate comes from the word incorporare, which is Latin. Later, however, it evolved and a prefix -in appeared. Initially, corporare was the base word and it had a similar meaning to the one it has now, which is to include something into a bigger piece.
