Latin: Nux - nut nuculus - diminutive of nut (“little nut”)
Proto-Indo-European: kneu - nut
I can’t find much on where the -culus suffix originated, which seams to be the the place we would want to look if trying to tie the pronunciation of nuclear to the earliest etymological root.

Genuine question, I would like to know if there is a reason. Why doesn’t she just let the bees keep it?
Words mean what we use them to mean.
“Lesbian” and “Saphic” both come from Sapho of Lesbos, who wrote a lot of poetry involving woman-man and woman-woman relationships. Under modern definitions, most people would likely call her bisexual.
Lesbian is typically used to describe woman-woman relationships/orientations, but, with historical context, doesn’t really align with exclusively woman-woman relationships/orientations.
If you follow the strict, modern definition, Sapho of Lesbos would not be lesbian.
There are also different orientations that could be described as lesbian. The main orientations that seem relevant in this case are romantic lesbian and sexual lesbian.
Based on your post, it sounds like you are romantically a lesbian, but probably sexually bi. (You don’t have to identify this way, that’s all up to you, and I don’t know you well enough to say this with any confidence).
In short, words don’t have inherent meaning. Call yourself what you’re comfortable with.
