How Do You Spell SUSPIRING?

The word "suspiring" is spelled with a "u" after the "s" because it comes from the Latin word "suspirare" which means "to sigh". The "u" helps to preserve the "s" sound in the word. The IPA phonetic transcription for "suspiring" is /səˈspaɪərɪŋ/ where the stressed syllable is "spiring" and the "u" is pronounced as a short "uh" sound. Although not a commonly used word, its spelling and pronunciation demonstrate the importance of understanding word origins and etymology.
