Lemma 67.11.4. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $X$ be a decent algebraic space over $S$. For every point $x \in |X|$ there exists an étale morphism

\[ (U, u) \longrightarrow (X, x) \]

where $U$ is an affine scheme, $u$ is the only point of $U$ lying over $x$, and the induced homomorphism $\kappa (x) \to \kappa (u)$ is an isomorphism.

Proof. We may assume that $X$ is quasi-compact by replacing $X$ with a quasi-compact open containing $x$. Recall that $x$ can be represented by a quasi-compact (mono)morphism from the spectrum a field (by definition of decent spaces). Thus the lemma follows from Lemma 67.8.3. $\square$
