The spelling of "acquired assumed" can be a bit tricky, but with the help of IPA phonetic transcription, it becomes clearer. "Acquired" is spelled /əˈkwaɪəd/ with the stress on the second syllable and a schwa sound in the first syllable. Meanwhile, "assumed" is spelled /əˈsjuːmd/ with the stress on the second syllable and a "yoo" sound in the second syllable. When these two words are combined, they create the phrase "acquired assumed", which means obtained or gained something that was previously believed to be true or assumed.
