Advoke is a relatively unknown word with a complicated spelling. It means to call upon, summon or invoke someone or something, often in legal contexts. Its pronunciation is /ædˈvoʊk/, where the stress falls on the second syllable. The first syllable is pronounced like the "a" in "cat", the "o" is pronounced as in "go" and the "e" at the end is barely pronounced. This word is rarely used in everyday conversation. However, it plays a crucial role in legal language, especially in common law countries.
