How to spell site
What it means: A location or place.
In a sentence: The ants built their home at the site of an old tree.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as sight or cite.
Sounds like, but is not: sight, cite. Same sound, different spelling and meaning.
Same family: sited, siting, resite, site-selection, location. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: The verb "site" comes from the noun "site," which traces back to Latin "situs," meaning "position" or "place." It’s closely related in origin to words like "situate" and the phrase "in situ," meaning "in its original place."
Patterns it uses: Drop the e before a suffix?
