Etymologically, the entry records: Borrowed from Latin venire facias de novo (“that you make/cause to come anew”), from the opening words of the writ. 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 venire facias de novo, spelled V-E-N-I-R-E- -F-A-C-I-A-S- -D-E- -N-O-V-O, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
