No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is faulest an, spelled F-A-U-L-E-S-T- -A-N, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
