Correct spelling

holiday

Correct spelling, explanation: holiday is derived from two words holy and day where y was replaced by i. The word is originated in Old English, referring to a religious anniversary. There is no need to add the second consonant l because in the word holy we have one l. Besides, there is no rule saying to do that. To sum up, considering the origin of the word, exclusively holiday is the appropriate form of a noun but holliday is spelled incorrectly.

Incorrect spelling

holliday

Incorrect spelling, explanation: holliday is an improper form of a noun that consists of two parts of speech: the adjective holy and the noun day. It has its roots in Old English, which means that it is one of the oldest words in this language. The form holliday has never been used in English. In Middle English, it was known as haliday with one l and nowadays we have the form holiday which is the solely correct word in this case. However, holliday can be a typo or a misspelling and the learners of English should check the proper spelling of the word and use it correctly as holiday, not holliday.
