Rare enough to double-check

entrelacer doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable French patterns. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
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. The correct French form is entrelacer, spelled E-N-T-R-E-L-A-C-E-R.
