How Do You Spell ASSECURATION?
Pronunciation: [ɐsˌɛkjʊɹˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "assecuration" can be a bit tricky. It is pronounced [əˌsɛkjʊˈreɪʃən] and means "the act of insuring or securing." The "ss" in the middle of the word can be confusing because it is not a common letter combination in English. However, it is simply a double "s" to indicate a prolonged consonant sound. Furthermore, the "a" in the beginning is pronounced as a schwa, which makes the emphasis on the second syllable. Despite its uncommon spelling, "assecuration" remains an important term in the insurance industry.
