Explanation

Dearth is the correct spelling meaning scarcity, shortage, or lack of something. The word comes from Old English and is commonly used in phrases like "a dearth of evidence" or "a dearth of resources." Common misspellings often confuse the 'ea' vowel combination or add unnecessary letters.
