Remove misspelled word accidentally added to spell checked in macOS Catalina version 10.15.5

I clicked on "learn spelling" for a word that was not spelled correctly and need to remove it from the dictionary. How can I do this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Can you not select the same misspelling, and right-click to use Unlearn Spelling from the secondary menu?

There is only an "ignore spelling" which doesn't seem to fix it for future occurrences. Thanks for the suggestion - was worth a try!
