Correct spelling, explanation: relevant is based on the Latin word relevare – and in the case of words of Latin origin, their spelling quite often remains unchanged, as it often dictates the pronunciation and other grammatical aspects of this word. This is the case here: relevant underwent some changes, losing the typical Latin -are ending, but the body of the word is left as it was many centuries ago.
Definition of relevant:
adjective:
1. Actual or meaningful in connection to a given topic or situation
The news most relevant to the current situation in the country usually ends up on the cover of the newspaper.
2. Fitting or applicable to the situation/occasion/time;
At the end of his career, he no longer felt relevant to the music scene.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: revelant seems to suggest being connected to revelation or a similar word family – and relevant is definitely not. When you consider the pronunciation of the word, it may steer you in the right direction, as it clearly suggests relevant as the more appropriate (and the only correct) option.
