Etymologically, the entry records: Blend of feminist + Nazi, popularized in 1992 by conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh, who credited his friend Thomas Hazlett, a professor of law and economics at George Mason University, with coining the term (1987). Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is feminazi, spelled F-E-M-I-N-A-Z-I, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
