Incorrect spelling

perameter

Incorrect spelling, explanation: we shouldn’t spell this word as perameter because its first part doesn’t accord with the dictionary version, so the noun loses its meaning. The correct version consists of two elements: the prefix peri- and the word meter. Peri- comes from the Greek language and it’s a word-forming element meaning around, about, enclosing. That’s why perimeter is the only right spelling.
