Incorrect spelling, explanation: withought is a wrong form; there is no such word in English. It is probably a misspelling that happens due to similar pronunciation to the correct form without. Without dates back to Middle English withouten.
Correct spelling, explanation: this word was already known before 900. In Middle English, withouten was a combination of adverb and preposition. Today we can also split it into two: with and out; together they describe the meaning of the whole word perfectly. Withought would be pronounced similarly, but it is a misspelling.
Definition of without:
preposition, omitting something, excluding
I can’t live without coffee.
adverb (rare), outside
They are waiting without.
