Meticulous
The adjective meaning very careful and precise comes from the Latin 'meticulosus' and is spelt M-E-T-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.
It has a single 't' and ends in '-ulous', like 'ridiculous' or 'fabulous'.
Meticuluous inserts an extra 'u' before '-ous'; Metticulous doubles the 't'; Metticulus doubles the 't' and also drops the 'o' of the ending.
Splitting it as me-tic-u-lous helps to recall the correct form.
Hence, Meticulous.
