How to spell username

What it means: A unique identifier for online accounts.

In a sentence: Type your username to sign in and play the game! ▶

The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as user name or user-name.

Same family: screenname, login, password, nickname. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: The word "username" is a modern compound formed from "user" and "name" and became common with the rise of computer logins in the late 20th century. It reflects the idea that in digital spaces, a typed name can stand in for a real-world identity.

Patterns it uses: Drop the e before a suffix?
