The word "anisated" (pronounced /ˈæn.ɪ.seɪtɪd/) is derived from the French word "anisé," meaning "flavored with aniseed." The spelling of the word is based on English spelling conventions that use the suffix "-ate" to indicate a process or action, in this case, the addition of the aniseed flavor. The IPA phonetic transcription helps to explain the proper pronunciation of the word, which includes stress on the second syllable and a "t" sound at the end, despite the alternative spelling of "anisated" without the trailing "t."
