Why is because two words ?

I'm just breaking it down to emphasize its precise definition and reference to cause, and also to eliminate the need for "of " As in "because of" this or that. By using simply "be cause" I'm just saying "the cause is". Simplicity is after all the whole idea. The fundamental principle must logically be the simplest possible..

After "be cause" or alternatively "because of", it's a single word.

There are also at least three english words that mean essentially the same thing.
