Identify the misspelt word.


Options:

  1. Vicereine
  2. Floccinaucinihilipilification
  3. Defenestrate
  4. Quintessance

Right Answer: Quintessance

This question tests careful attention to unusual English spellings. 'Vicereine' is the correct spelling for the wife of a viceroy. 'Floccinaucinihilipilification', though famously long, is spelt correctly here and means the act of estimating something as worthless. 'Defenestrate' is also correct and means to throw someone or something out of a window. The fourth option, however, is written as 'Quintessance', which is wrong. The correct spelling is 'quintessence', ending in -ence rather than -ance, and it means the purest and most perfect example of a quality. Hence the misspelt word is Quintessance.
