Etymologically, the entry records: Compound of Nebraska (“University of Nebraska–Lincoln”) + ice. From being a form of water ice that was predicted at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1997. 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 Nebraska Ice, spelled N-E-B-R-A-S-K-A- -I-C-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
