Etymologically, the entry records: Developed in 1902 by the French chemist Auguste Verneuil. 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 Verneuil process, spelled V-E-R-N-E-U-I-L- -P-R-O-C-E-S-S, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
