How Do You Spell BOSSED?

Pronunciation: [bˈɒst] (IPA)

The word "bossed" is spelled with two S's, despite the fact that it might seem to only need one. This is because the "s" sound that begins the word is followed immediately by a vowel sound. In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), "bossed" is transcribed as /bɒst/, indicating that the second "s" represents the "st" cluster at the end of the word. Correctly spelling "bossed" with two S's helps to ensure clear communication and understanding in written language.

BOSSED Meaning and Definition
