– why is Triple spelled with one ‘P’ and not spelled Tripple – like Nipple?

343 views

This has bothered me for years and pops into my head here and there. Whenever I see the word triple my brain says it like the word “tripe” (the stomach of a cow that people eat)

Am I missing some rule that is used when it comes to spelling? Why is it Nipple and not Niple

Why no Tripple?
