Etymologically, the entry records: Calque of German Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch (literally “working men / proletarians of all countries, unite!”), a phrase which originates in the The Communist Manifesto and is one of the most famous rallying cries of communism. 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 workers of the world, unite, spelled W-O-R-K-E-R-S- -O-F- -T-H-E- -W-O-R-L-D-,- -U-N-I-T-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
