inflexion

noun

Etymology: From Middle French inflexion, itself from Latin īnflexiō.

1. Dated spelling of inflection.

   “[…] I do not like the studied air and artificial inflexions of voice which your very popular and most admired preachers generally have.”

   ““Connexion” is the etymological (ie, “correct”) spelling. That is to say, our word is derived from an actual Latin noun, cf. deflexion, inflexion, and reflexion. […] And it might make life easier to abolish the letter “x”. But why should we cut off the fascinating roots of our words? I should carry on preferring “connexion”.”
