Rare enough to double-check
par nécessité is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadverb, transcribed \paʁ ne.se.si.te\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "À cause d’un besoin pressant.".
par nécessité doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is par nécessité, spelled P-A-R- -N-É-C-E-S-S-I-T-É.
