How to spell move
What it means: To change location or position.
In a sentence: I watch the clouds move across the sky.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as moove or mov.
Same family: movement, moved, moving, motivated, emotion. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: English 'move' comes from Old French 'movoir' and Latin 'movēre', meaning 'to set in motion' or 'to stir'. From the idea of being 'stirred' emotionally, it also gained the sense of influencing or encouraging someone to act.
