I was going to say masturbate should be masterbate but AI tells me:

The word "masturbate" is spelled with a "u" because it derives from Latin roots, specifically a combination of the Latin words manus (meaning "hand") and stuprum (meaning "defilement" or "dishonor").Etymologists and linguists point to two primary Latin combinations that formed the word:From manus + stuprare: Literally translating to "to defile oneself with the hand".
