How Do You Spell BENETTED?

Pronunciation: [bˈɛnɪtɪd] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Benetted" can be a bit confusing. Pronounced /bəˈnɛtɪd/, the word is the past tense form of "benet," which means "to bestow a blessing upon." The double "n" in "benetted" is due to the rule of doubling consonants when adding suffixes to words that end in a short vowel sound, such as "e."
