The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as frunt or frount.

Same family: fronts, fronted, fronting, infront, frontward. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Front” comes from Old French “front,” meaning forehead or face, and from Latin “frons,” also meaning forehead. That’s why we still say things like the “front” of a building, as if it has a face.
