I did not do that on purpose it was an accident.
The noun purpose has 3 senses (first 3 from tagged texts)
1. (75) purpose, intent, intention, aim, design -- (an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions; "his intent was to provide a new translation"; "good intentions are not enough"; "it was created with the conscious aim of answering immediate needs"; "he made no secret of his designs")
2. (27) function, purpose, role, use -- (what something is used for; "the function of an auger is to bore holes"; "ballet is beautiful but what use is it?")
3. (5) determination, purpose -- (the quality of being determined to do or achieve something; "his determination showed in his every movement"; "he is a man of purpose")
The verb purpose has 2 senses (no senses from tagged texts)
1. aim, purpose, purport, propose -- (propose or intend; "I aim to arrive at noon")
2. purpose, resolve -- (reach a decision; "he resolved never to drink again")

I think you may have spelled the word wrong. It is purpose. He did not do it on purpose. What was the purpose of doing that?.

I propose the simplest spelling for you: 'purpose' is very common and the easiest to uderstand, right?

No wonder you can't find it; you're not looking in the right place.
The word is 'purpose'.
