Correct spelling, explanation: senior is the correct spelling; it is a combination of Latin senex (old man) with the comparative suffix -or. Senoir is incorrect also due to its supposed pronunciation: it would be pronounced [se-nuh-wa:], not [seen-yer] as the correct form. These points show that senior is the only correct form.
