Totally off topic, but totally bugging me. Why is it (in this case) Effect not affect?

It seems like it should be clear if you read the definitions. Perhaps if you explain why you think it should be 'affect', you can get a better explanation.
Effect is usually a noun and affect is usually a verb.
That's not an explanation. Effect and affect are just different things with different meanings both as nouns and verbs.
Because the noun affect means something entirely different.
