Etymologically, the entry records: Coined by American science fiction author Isaac Asimov in 1942, introduced in his short story "Runaround". 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.
