Misunderstand

Prefix MIS adds no extra letter here.

The comparisoni

✗ Wrong

I missunderstood you.

✓ Correct

I misunderstood you.

The ruleii

MIS + UNDERSTAND = MISUNDERSTAND.

When MIS + a word starting with S (like SPELL) you get double S. Before any other letter, only one S.

Memory aidiii

Remember it like this

MIS + vowel or consonant ≠ double.
