How Do You Spell BRODE?

Pronunciation: [bɹˈə͡ʊd] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "brode" is an example of how English spelling can be deceiving. While it may seem like the word should be pronounced as it is spelled, the actual pronunciation is quite different. The IPA phonetic transcription for "brode" is /broʊd/, with the emphasis on the first syllable. The 'o' vowel in the second syllable is pronounced like the 'oh' sound, and the 'e' at the end is silent. It's important to keep in mind that English spelling does not always correspond to its pronunciation.

Etymology of BRODE

The word "brode" has its origin in Middle English. It comes from the Old English word "brād", meaning "broad" or "wide".

Today, the word "broad" is the more commonly used form to express the same meaning.
