Perccel

Perccel is a term that primarily appears as a misspelling of the Dutch noun perceel, which denotes a parcel of land or plot. In Dutch cadastral records, real estate descriptions, and land surveying, the correct spelling is perceel. The word refers to a defined unit of land with fixed boundaries that is identified for ownership, taxation, or planning purposes.

The etymology of perceel traces to the Dutch word for a small parcel, itself derived from the French parcelle. The form perccel has no recognized independent meaning in standard Dutch or English and is generally considered a typographical error or OCR misreading.

In published text, journalism, and online discussions, perccel may appear when typists confuse 'ea' with 'c' or when scanned documents render 'perceel' as 'perccel'. In formal contexts, such as legal deeds or cadastral maps, the correct term perceel should be used.
