The spelling of the word "caroid" may seem confusing, but it can be broken down using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first syllable, "car," is pronounced as /ˈkɑːr/. The second syllable, "oid," is pronounced as /ɔɪd/. Together, they form "caroid," which is commonly used to describe anything resembling a carrot. While this unique spelling may require some practice to remember, mastering the IPA can help make it easier to understand and pronounce unfamiliar words.
