Pannel vs. Panel: The Correct Spellings

Pannel, though once used, has fallen out of favor and is now considered a misspelling. English, like all languages, evolves, and spellings can change or standardize over time.

The distinction between pannel and panel is a matter of a single 'n'. The correct spelling in contemporary English is "panel." The term "panel" has Old French origins from the word "panelle," meaning "little piece," and it eventually entered Middle English as "pannel." However, over time, the standardized spelling became "panel" in modern English.

To remember the spelling of "panel," consider that a single panel is one piece, and therefore, it needs only one 'n'.
