occasion
Correct spelling, explanation: occasion is the correct form because it comes from Latin occasionem, which was built by combining a prefix with another root word – hence double c. Ocassion is, therefore, an incorrect form and occasion is the correct one.

What’s the occasion for dressing up like that?
ocassion
Incorrect spelling, explanation: this spelling is a mistake because the origins of the word point to double c, as in occasion (Latin occasionem; root word cidere with a prefix – this is why c got doubled). Ocassion is incorrect and occasion is the correct form.
