The spelling of the word "Clearstraching" may seem confusing, but it can be explained through phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced /klɪərstrætʃɪŋ/, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The "clear" part of the word is spelled phonetically as /klɪər/, as in "clear water". The "straching" part is spelled phonetically as /strætʃɪŋ/, which sounds like "stretching". Thus, "clearstraching" refers to the act of stretching or extending clarity, and is pronounced cleer-stratching.
