Identify the misspelt word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Rendevous
Meaning: the misspelt word is Rendevous. The correct spelling is rendezvous = a meeting arranged for a fixed time and place, or the place itself *(पूर्व-निर्धारित भेंट, मिलन-स्थल)*.
Rule: a word borrowed whole from French keeps its French letters even when English refuses to pronounce them.
rendezvous comes from the command *rendez-vous* — 'present yourselves'.
The z is silent and the final s is silent, but both are written.
The same habit shows in *bouquet*, *liaison* and *debris*, where written letters go unheard.
Why the others are fine.
• syncretism = the merging of different beliefs, cultures or schools of thought into one *(समन्वयवाद, मत-समन्वय)* — *syn-* (together) + *-cretism*.
