Regiemen

Regiemen is a nonstandard or misspelled form of the English noun regimen. In standard usage, regimen denotes a prescribed program of medical treatment, a diet, or a routine designed to achieve a health-related or performance goal, such as a medication regimen or a fitness regimen. The term comes from Latin regimen, meaning rule or management, derived from regere, to rule.

Regimen has related forms and common confusions. Regime (with an “e”) is the noun for a government or ruling administration, and is distinct in meaning from regimen. Regiment, meanwhile, is a military unit. English speakers may confuse these words because of similar pronunciation and shared roots, but they are not interchangeable.

Regiemen is not widely recognized as an independent word in major dictionaries and is generally regarded as a misspelling or typographical error. When encountered, the intended meaning is usually clear from context and the correct spelling is “regimen.” Some writers may use nonstandard spellings in creative work, but such usage is irregular in formal writing.

Usage notes: use regimen for plans of action, especially health- or fitness-related routines; use regime for political-rule contexts; use regiment for military formations. If you encounter regiemen, consider it a spelling error and replace it with regimen to ensure clarity.
