Etymologically, the entry records: Popularized by Henry Kissinger during his term as United States Secretary of State. 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 shuttle diplomacy, spelled S-H-U-T-T-L-E- -D-I-P-L-O-M-A-C-Y, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
