Lemma 76.33.2. Let S be a scheme. Let f : X \to Y be a morphism of algebraic spaces over S. Let x \in |X| with image y \in |Y|. Assume that
f is locally of finite type,
f is separated, and
f is quasi-finite at x.
Then there exists an étale morphism (U, u) \to (Y, y) of pointed algebraic spaces and a decomposition
into open and closed subspaces such that the morphism V \to U is finite and there exists a point v \in |V| which maps to x in |X| and u in |U|.
