The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as injoyment or enjoymant.

Same family: enjoy, enjoyed, enjoying, enjoyable, enjoyably. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Enjoyment” comes from the verb “enjoy,” which entered Middle English from Old French “enjoir,” meaning “to give joy to.” The suffix “-ment” is a common French and Latin ending used to turn actions into nouns, as in “movement” and “agreement.”
