alternately and alternatively
collision and collusion
conjuncture and conjecture
eclipse and ellipse
excise and exercise
prolepsis and proslepsis
continuous and contiguous
affect and effect
upmost and utmost
deprecate and depreciate
The term paronym can also refer to words that are derived from the same root, i.e. cognate words.
