Correct spelling, explanation: supplement can be either a noun or a verb. The word originates from Latin supplēmentum which means that by which anything is made full and appeared in the English language around the XIV century. Based on the original Latin spelling the word supplement should be written with double consonant p and the suffix -ement. Therefore, a shortened version supliment is not correct and does not have any meaning.
Definition of supplement:
noun, something that completes a thing;

Incorrect spelling, explanation: supliment is the incorrect version of the word supplement. As the right form comes from a Latin word supplēmentum, that came to the English language around the XIV century, the good spelling should not consist of the letter i. Letter p should be doubled and combined with the suffix -ement. The word supplement should consist of three syllables: sup-ple-ment.
