How Do You Spell METHYLARECAIDIN?

Pronunciation: [mˈiːθɪlˌe͡əke͡ɪdˌɪn] (IPA)

Methylarecaidin is a challenging word to spell. Its root is "methyl", a prefix used to describe a chemical compound containing a methyl group. The suffix "arecaidin" may be harder to recognize, but it comes from "arecaidine," a chemical compound found in areca nuts. When pronounced, the word sounds like /ˌmɛθɪlˌærɪˈkeɪdɪn/. Note the stress on the second syllable, and the long "a" sound in the third syllable. With practice, it can become easier to reproduce the spelling of complex words like methylarecaidin.
