How to spell register

Register is spelled R-E-G-I-S-T-E-R. Registration keeps the same I: reg-IS-ter, reg-IS-tra-tion.

What it means: An official record or list of names, items, or events.

In a sentence: Please write your name on the register. ▶

Same family: registered, registering, registration, registry, record. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Register” comes from Old French *registre* and Medieval Latin *registrum*, meaning a list or record. It is related to the Latin verb *regere*, “to rule or guide,” the same root that gives us “regal” and “regulate.”
