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 Spanish form is locus de control, spelled L-O-C-U-S- -D-E- -C-O-N-T-R-O-L, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
