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 English form is invert sugar, spelled I-N-V-E-R-T- -S-U-G-A-R, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
