Incorrect spelling, explanation: the correct spelling of the word masturbation is with the -u letter in the middle of the word. However, some users of English spell it with -e instead of -u, which gives an incorrect form masterbation. Most probably it is the consequence of the pronunciation of the word as the sound is close to -e.
Correct spelling, explanation: the word masturbation came from the Latin form masturbari and it was not until the 18th century that it appeared in English for the first time. The origin of the Latin form can be found in the Greek words mazdo and turbare, which could be translated as pe*is and to disturb.
