Axonost is a term that is not commonly used in everyday language. The word is spelled "a-x-o-n-o-s-t" with the stress on the second syllable. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /ˈæksəˌnoʊst/. The first two sounds are represented by the letter "a", pronounced as "æ", followed by "k-s", where the "k" sound is unaspirated. The last syllable is composed of "noʊst", pronounced with a long "o" sound and an unstressed "ə" vowel. Therefore, Axonost refers to a specific part of a nerve cell, its axon, which is a projection that conducts signals away from the cell body.
