The word "Betossed" is not a commonly used word and its spelling may seem confusing at first glance. However, its pronunciation can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): /bɪˈtɒst/. The "e" is pronounced as "e" in "bet," the "o" is pronounced as "o" in "hot," and the final "ssed" is pronounced as "st" in "post." Thus, "Betossed" is pronounced as bih-tost. Despite its unusual spelling, this word means "to have been tossed about" or "thrown around."
