Etymologically, the entry records: An extended form of easy peasy, coined either in the 1950s in a commercial for Sqezy (a British detergent brand which was sold in a squeeze bottle and had a lemon scent), or else not until the 1980s when it was first used among British children as slang. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is easy peasy lemon squeezy, spelled E-A-S-Y- -P-E-A-S-Y- -L-E-M-O-N- -S-Q-U-E-E-Z-Y, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
