The word archives (pronounced /'ɑː(ɹ}.kaɪvs/) is derived from the Greek arkhé meaning government or order (compare an-archy, mon-archy). The word originally developed from the Greek "arkheion" which refers to the home or dwelling of the Archon, in which important official state documents were filed and interpreted under the authority of the Archon.
they changed the k to a c but it's still pronounced the same.

Why is the "b" in "plumber" silent?
Why is the double "o" in "blood" and "flood" pronounced like a single one?
Why is Tu(c)son, Arizona? Why add a letter if it's silent?
Hell, English is the most random language ever when it comes to phonetical rules

We were taught in school to pronounce it that way in the nationwide "Let's Mess with Lithium's Head" program. It's like R.I.F only we screw with your head.

Just invent your own words like I do. Kevinese or Slimlish is constantly evolving.
