Correct spelling, explanation: because comes from joining together words comprising the phrase by cause, which introduces an explanation in a sentence. Because the phrase was so often used in this specific conjunction in a similar context, over time the spelling was adjusted to join two words into one because.
Definition of because:
conjunction
1. for the reason…, word introducing an explanation
I moved to New York because there are more career opportunities there for me.
I try to eat more vegetables because I know it’s good for my body.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: beacuse seems like it’s a conjunction of the verb be and incorrectly spelled accuse, which is just a word that doesn’t exist. Moreover, the pronunciation would be completely different with such spelling, as ea is read differently than just e (compare bear to be), while because is perfectly logical in meaning.
