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 French form is acide docosahexaénoïque, spelled A-C-I-D-E- -D-O-C-O-S-A-H-E-X-A-É-N-O-Ï-Q-U-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
