The best to remember words is through mnemonics:
Peccadillo (n)
Meaning - A small, relatively unimportant offense or sin
Mnemonic -
In school days, teachers used to give dictation to us.
Once, the teacher asked us to spell this word. My friend wrote it as "PACKADILLO" (the way he would have pronounced it).
But when he looked into my copy he saw the correct spelling as "PECCADILLO" and he immidiately corrected the word in his copy.
Thats's cheating (a small offense)!
But my friend did remember the spelling and so will you
Usage - She was willing to overlook her husband's peccadilloes.
