typo
An error that occurs when writing or typing, where a letter is written incorrectly, omitted, or swapped.
In seiner E-Mail war ein kleiner Schreibfehler, aber ich habe sie trotzdem verstanden.
There was a small typo in his email, but I still understood it.
The word is made up of the verb 'schreiben' (to write) and the noun 'der Fehler' (mistake/error). So it literally describes a mistake that happens while writing.
