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 zorro chilote, spelled Z-O-R-R-O- -C-H-I-L-O-T-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
