Correct spelling

metallic

Correct spelling, explanation: the word metallic should be spelled with a double l, since both Latin and Greek origins are spelled this way (respectively: metallicus, metallikos). Metalic is a wrong form, probably mistaken because of pronunciation.

Definition of metallic:
adjective, made of metal or with metal features (for example shine or hardness)
I don’t like metallic elements on furniture, they aren’t very cosy.
I would like a more metallic colour for this car.


Incorrect spelling

metalic

Incorrect spelling, explanation: this is an incorrect form since original words in Latin (metallicus) and Greek (metallikos) are spelled with double l. Therefore the correct form is metallic and metalic is an incorrect spelling.
