Arriswise is a term used in carpentry and construction to refer to the orientation of wood or metal pieces at a corner joint. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /ˈærɪs waɪz/, which indicates that it is pronounced with a short "a" sound followed by "ris" and then "wise" with a long "i" sound. The spelling of the word is derived from the Latin word "arista," meaning "ear of grain," which refers to the sharp edge of the corner joint.
