The word “modelling” comes from the French "modelle" and the Italian "modello", which mean "measure" or "manner". The term “modelize” was used as a verb in the 17th century before being replaced by “model” in the 1750s. The meaning “to display fashion designs or garments” was attached to “model” in the early 20th century.
The original purpose of written language is to not have to remember long information. The spelling which leads to the right pronunciation is the correct spelling. “Modelling” is clearly three syllables, while “modeling” could be two or three.
