How to spell morale
What it means: The spirit or confidence of a group.
In a sentence: The team's morale was high after they won the game.
The part people get wrong
Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear. Often misspelled as moral or morral.
Sounds like, but is not: moral. Same sound, different spelling and meaning.
Same family: spirit, confidence, teamwork, motivation, enthusiasm. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: “Morale” comes from French, where it originally meant “moral conduct” or “mood,” and is related to the word “moral.” Over time, its meaning shifted in English to focus on the emotional state and confidence level of a group.
Patterns it uses: The unstressed vowel (schwa)
