Usage notes
is intentionally misspelled to emphasize its difference from ; simply referring to the occupation of a residence (compare ) and  referring to the occupation of an abandoned, uninhabited, or unused residence without seeking permission from the owner. However, the word is fairly nuanced and is not totally synonymous with (see Squatting § Spain as well as Movimiento okupa).

It is one of a few Spanish verbs containing a K (as K is not native to Spanish; other verbs with a K are derived from loanwords: bunkerizar, kilometrar). The Diccionario de la Real Academia Española officially recognizes as well as  while noting that the misspelling is questionable.
