Aurate (/'ɔːreɪt/) is a chemical compound that contains the auric ion, Au3+. The word is pronounced with three syllables and begins with the vowel sound /ɔː/. The second syllable contains the diphthong /eɪ/, which is a combination of the "eh" and "ee" sounds. The final syllable features a soft "t" sound /t/. The spelling of the word can be traced back to its Latin root, aurum, which means gold. Aurate is commonly used in chemistry to describe a variety of gold-containing compounds.
