How to spell bank
What it means: A place where you can save and manage money.
In a sentence: We went to the bank to save our money.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as banck or bak.
Same family: banker, banking, banked, banknote, bankruptcy. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: The word "bank" comes from the Italian word "banca," meaning a bench or counter, because early money changers did business on benches in open markets. Over time, the word shifted from meaning the place where money was exchanged to the institution that stores and lends money.
