Artefact, ‘a product of human art or workmanship’ comes from the Latin arte factum, ‘made by art’. The spelling with the letter e is much the more common in British English. In American English, artifact, corresponding to pronunciation rather than etymology, is the preferred form, but would be looked on unfavourably in most of the circles in Britain in which such a word would be used.
