Rare enough to double-check

de tout temps is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadverb, transcribed \də tu tɑ̃\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Toujours.".

The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for de tout temps, since its letter sequence doesn't invite the usual edit-distance slips. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is de tout temps, spelled D-E- -T-O-U-T- -T-E-M-P-S.
