The spellings of words reflect the way they are pronounced in their root language, not necessarily the language they become part of. For example, the silent "B" in "doubt" is from the Latin root dubitare/dubare ("to waver, to be uncertain of"). This is why some English words beginning with a "CE" and "CI" sound like they start with "S", while others (the ones that start with CA, CO, and CU) have a "K" sound.
