orthography - Am I crazy, or is "underappreciated" one word?



I've always written "underappreciated" as one word, but as I'm typing this, my browser spell-check is trying to correct it to "under appreciated" (with the second suggestion being "under-appreciated" with a hyphen). My phone's auto-correct also changes it to "under appreciated" (no hyphen). Every dictionary I've looked it up in has it as one word. Am I going crazy or is it an error in the spell-checker? Both my computer and phone are Apple products so I assume they use the same dictionary for spell-check.


Answer



Merriam-Webster.com says that you are not crazy.

But your question....
