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 mate de Legal, spelled M-A-T-E- -D-E- -L-E-G-A-L, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
