Correct spelling, explanation: as in many other cases the main reason for spelling because (and more precisely cause) is its Latin origin causa. This form is why we spell because with a. The word in today’s form is a combination of by (indicating an agent of action) and cause.
Definition of because:
conjunction, since, for the reason that
I was late for school because I overslept.
He was back problems now because he neglected exercise.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: this is the wrong spelling since this word comes from Middle English bi (by) plus cause (deriving from Latin causa – reason). Originally spelled with a in causa (not o) it remained like this in English and the modern form is spelled as one word – because. Becouse is, therefore, a wrong form.
