Etymologically, the entry records: First described by Ken Hashimoto and M. S. Pritzkar in 1973. 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 Hashimoto-Pritzker syndrome, spelled H-A-S-H-I-M-O-T-O---P-R-I-T-Z-K-E-R- -S-Y-N-D-R-O-M-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
