How Do You Spell BRANGCHIOSTEGOUS?
Pronunciation: [bɹˌaŋkɪəstˈɛɡəs] (IPA) 
The word "brangchiostegous" is a term used in zoology to describe fish with gill covers that are modified into armored plates. It is pronounced /ˌbræŋkiəʊˈstiːɡəs/ with emphasis on the second syllable. The spelling of this word is derived from Greek root words- "brankhia" meaning gill and "stegos" meaning covering. The "-ous" at the end is a suffix indicating possession or full of, thus "brangchiostegous" literally means "possessing armor-like gill covers". Due to its complex spelling and pronunciation, this term is mostly used within academia and is unfamiliar to the general population.
