How to spell creature
What it means: A living organism, often with voluntary movement.
In a sentence: A tiny creature lives under the rock.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as creeture or creater.
Same family: creation, creative, creativity, creator, recreate. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Creature comes from Latin 'creatura', meaning 'a thing created', from the verb 'creare' ('to create'). Over time, English speakers also began using it for a person who seems completely made, shaped, or controlled by someone else.
