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 papier kraft, spelled P-A-P-I-E-R- -K-R-A-F-T, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
