Etymologically, the entry records: Named in honor of Uta Hick, German primatologist who cared for bearded sakis at the Cologne Zoo. 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.
