etymology
  • Sole has one letter O like only one, and it is often about single or one thing.
  • Sole refers to the bottom part of a shoe or foot, so think of sole as something related to physical or base.
  • Soul has a u, just like you, meaning something about your inner self or spirit.
  • Soul is often associated with emotions, depth, and spirituality.
  • Remember the phrase sole of the shoe and soul of a person to keep them distinct.
