RIGHT?! I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's based on the term NUCLEUS ffs.

Common misconception but it's actually based on Saint Nukulus, the guy that puts uranium in your boots if you leave them out overnight.

Now, to be fair, nucleus it comes from the latin nuculus. It just that it sounds bad and feels bad to say
