The word is NOT backround. It is backGround. It comes from the word "back" and the word "ground". A small amount of thought should convince you that "round" doesn't come into it at all. If you're ever inclined to say "backround", remember that the Bad Spelling Demon eats little boys and girls for dinner if they refuse to spell correctly. I won't tell you what he does to adults.
