Pronunciation: [blˈɜːɹɪ] (IPA) 
The word "blurry" is spelled with two r's, despite the fact that the 'r' sound only appears once in its pronunciation. This is because of a spelling rule in English that states that when a word ends with a vowel sound followed by an 'r', the 'r' must be doubled in the spelling. In IPA phonetic transcription, the pronunciation of "blurry" is /ˈblɜːri/, with the first 'r' representing the 'er' sound and the second 'r' being silent.
Blurry is an adjective that describes something that lacks clarity or clear focus. It refers to an unclear or hazy appearance, with indistinct edges or features. When an image, picture, or object is described as blurry, it means that it is not well-defined and lacks sharpness. Blurriness can occur due to various reasons, such as a lack of focus, poor resolution, or movement during the capturing of an image. It commonly happens with photographs, videos, or visuals that are out of focus or have low resolution.
In a broader sense, the term blurry can also be used metaphorically to describe situations or concepts that are unclear, ambiguous, or difficult to comprehend. It suggests a lack of precision or accuracy, leading to confusion or misunderstanding.
The perception of something being blurry is subjective and can vary depending on individual preferences or standards of clarity. What one person considers blurry may be acceptable to another. However, in general terms, blurry refers to a lack of sharpness or definition that makes it challenging to perceive or understand the details or nature of an object, image, or concept.
