Developement vs. Development

A handy trick to remember the spelling is to think of the root word "develop" and simply add "-ment" at the end.

The primary difference between developement and development is the superfluous "e" in the former. The correct spelling in modern English is "development." The word "development" has roots in the Old French word "developper," meaning "unwrap, unveil." As it entered English, the spelling standardized to "development," aligning with many other words that end in "-ment" to indicate the process or result of an action.

Developement, although occasionally seen, is a misspelling and doesn't adhere to the standard conventions of English word formation. When considering the verb form "develop," the correct noun form is "development."
