"Infront" is a misspelling of "in front," a prepositional phrase used to indicate a position or location that is ahead or before something else.

For example, if you are about to enter a restaurant's main entrance, you are in front of the restaurant. You are standing before the restaurant, particularly at the front entrance of the restaurant.

The misspelling of "in front" as "infront" may occur because when spoken quickly or informally, "in front" can sound like "infront." It may also be due to common typos made when casual texting or informal writing on social media, which may influence colloquial speech patterns. However, for formal and academic writing, it is best to adhere to the standard spelling "in front" to maintain clarity and correctness.
