Etymologically, the entry records: Presumably inspired by a scene in the episode "No One" (2016) of the television series Game of Thrones, in which Cersei Lannister, facing clerical detention and ordered to restrain her bodyguard, calmly responds, "I choose violence." 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 I choose violence, spelled I- -C-H-O-O-S-E- -V-I-O-L-E-N-C-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
