How to spell recommend
recommend
Not reccomend or recomend.
The trap
The word recommend has one C and two Ms, and reccomend moves the double to the wrong letter. It is re plus commend, and commend keeps its own spelling: one C, two Ms.
Doubled letters are part of how a word is built, not decoration. The reason behind a double varies from word to word. Often it is an added ending, sometimes the word's history, so the double is learned along with the word.
re + commend
