Etymologically, the entry records: Developed by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus in 1683. 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 Tschirnhaus transformation, spelled T-S-C-H-I-R-N-H-A-U-S- -T-R-A-N-S-F-O-R-M-A-T-I-O-N, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
