The word "broadcast" is spelled with a 'd' at the end, despite the fact that it's often pronounced with a 't'. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled /ˈbrɔːdkɑːst/.

Etymology of BROADCAST

The word "broadcast" traces its roots back to Old English. It is a combination of two words: "broad" and "cast".

The word "broad" originally referred to something wide or extensive. It comes from the Old English word "brād", which means wide or large.

The word "cast" comes from the Old English word "caest", which means to throw or to send forth.

When these two words were combined, "broadcast" was created. It initially referred to the act of scattering seeds widely by hand, as in sowing crops. The term was later adopted and applied to radio and television transmissions where information or programs are sent out over a wide area, reaching a large audience.
