The word "are derelict" is spelled using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /ɑr dɛrəlɪkt/. The first sound, /ɑr/, represents the vowel sound of "ah" and is followed by the syllable "der" which sounds like "dur". The second part of the word, "elict", is pronounced as "uh-lik-t". In English, "derelict" means abandoned or in poor condition. Proper spelling of the word is important to convey the intended meaning.
The phrase "are derelict" is not a commonly used phrase, as "are" is the second person plural form of the verb "to be", and "derelict" is an adjective meaning abandoned or in a very poor condition. However, if you are referring to the word "derelict" as a noun, meaning a person who is homeless or abandoned, the etymology of "derelict" can be traced back to Latin.
The word "derelict" comes from the Latin word "derelictus", which is the past participle of the verb "derelinquere". The prefix "de-" means "down" or "away", and "relinquere" means "to leave" or "to abandon". Therefore, "derelictus" means "abandoned" or "left behind".
