Correct spelling, explanation: like quite a fair share of English words, recipient has its roots in Latin. More precisely, it comes from the word recipere, which in some contexts was used as recipient to describe someone/something receiving. Based on that you can see that the word did not change, as it had no reason to – recipient may be an odd word when compared to receive, but it’s perfectly correct.

Definition of recipient:
noun
1. the person who is given or gifted something
The recipient’s address was illegible and because of that, the letter could not be delivered.
adjective
1. receiving
If you want to send someone flowers, please write down the recipient person’s address in the form.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: recepient is a misspelling of recipient, even though the pronunciation would fit quite well to this version. The reason this word is incorrect is the fact that the word recipient is a direct borrowing from the Latin recipient – and there is no basis on which you would have to change any vowels in this word.
