I think these are both words - i.e. form part of the commonly used
language with well defined meanings. Try a technical dictionary, such
as the IEEE dictionary.  I had just this argument with 'decoupled' the
other day - not in dictionaries, but you know what it means - it is a
technical term and was found in the IEEE dictionary.

BTW, the Unix spell command let them through.
