The word is spelled corroborate.
This brings to mind one of my nagging queries.
With respect to the word correspondence.
I have always been plagued, in spelling this correctly, with misunderstanding (and mis-remembering) that there are two 'r' and one 'o'.
Intuitively, it seems more correct as co - respondence. As in a cooperative interchange (respondent to respondent).
Other words help to support this idea, such as cooperate, cohabitate, et cetera.
Anyone have further insight on this?
