The spelling of the word "bearce" is quite unusual, and it is pronounced as /bɛːs/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The word does not have a clearly defined origin or meaning, making it even more mysterious. Perhaps it is a surname or a regional dialect term that has fallen out of common use. Regardless, its phonetic transcription suggests that the "ea" represents a long "e" sound, while the final "ce" is pronounced as a soft "s."
