The spelling of the word "censorian" can be a bit confusing, as it might seem like it should be spelled with an "s" instead of a "c." However, the use of "c" is consistent with the word's Latin roots, as it comes from the Latin word "censorius," meaning "belonging to a censor." In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is pronounced /senˈsɔːrɪən/, with stress on the second syllable.
