Usage

The words prophesy and prophecy are often confused. Prophesy is the spelling that should be used for the verb (he was prophesying a bumper harvest), whereas prophecy is the correct spelling for the noun (a bleak prophecy of war and ruin).

Etymology

ME: from OFr. profecier, from profecie (see prophecy); the different spellings of prophesy and prophecy were established after 1700.
