Pronunciation: [ˈadənbɹˌʊk] (IPA) 
"Addenbrooke" is a term that may cause confusion when it comes to spelling. Its correct spelling is "Addenbrooke's" - the name of a hospital located in Cambridge, UK. The pronunciation of the word is "AD-uhn-brooks" with a short "a" sound and an emphasis on the first syllable. The spelling of this word is a combination of Old English roots and a modern suffix, reflecting the evolution of the English language.
The word "Addenbrooke" has a relatively straightforward etymology. It is derived from the Old English "æddanbroc", which means "Eadwine's brook". The term combines two elements: "æddan" (possessive form of "Eadwine") and "broc" (meaning "brook" or "stream").
Addenbrooke is also the name of a hospital in Cambridge, England, known as Addenbrooke's Hospital. The hospital was named after Dr. John Addenbrooke, who left behind a bequest in 1719 to establish a hospital for the benefit of the people in Cambridge. The name of the hospital is unrelated to the original etymology of "addenbrooke" but rather honors its benefactor.
