The spelling of the word "carras" can be a bit confusing. The correct pronunciation is /ˈkærəs/, with a short "a" sound and a silent "s" at the end. The double "r" in the spelling indicates that the preceding vowel should be pronounced with a slight rolling or trilling effect in some accents. This word is not commonly used in English, but it is believed to have origins in Latin or Galician dialects. It may refer to a type of tree or a place name.
