Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for vénération, with forms such as "veneration", "vnéération", and "vvénération".

It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "végétation", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is vénération, spelled V-É-N-É-R-A-T-I-O-N.
