Incorrect spelling

hollyday

Incorrect spelling, explanation: holiday is a compound, consisting of the adjective holy and the noun day. However, there is no such word as hollyday because holly is the noun, referring to a plant, for example, a tree or a shrub, with shiny evergreen leaves and red berries.
