Rare enough to double-check

The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for vorübergehend, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is vorübergehend, spelled V-O-R-Ü-B-E-R-G-E-H-E-N-D.
