Correct spelling, explanation: this adverb, immediately, comes from the adjective immediate. The word for this is mediate, therefore spelled with e, not i, in its other forms. The adjective prefix im- is added to mediate giving the opposite meaning (so: direct). The adverb immediately keeps this spelling, so immidiately is a mistake.
Definition of immediately:
adverb, done in an immediate matter; without any delay
I immediately understood why he was like that.
We should clean this up immediately before mum sees it!
Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is a mistake because the root adjective, mediate is spelled with e (not i). This fact points to immediately as the correct adverbial form created from this adjective. Therefore immidiately is incorrect and immediately is the correct form.
