How Do You Spell CLERKESS?
Pronunciation: [klˈɜːkɛs] (IPA) 
The word "clerkess" denotes a female clerk. Its spelling might seem unusual or incorrect, but it is actually derived from the French term "commis," which refers to a clerk or assistant. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word would be written as /ˈklɑːkɪs/. The double "k" and "e" in the word reflect the French pronunciation of "commis," which has a silent final "e." Despite its origins, the use of the term "clerkess" has fallen out of favor in modern times, with the term "clerk" being used for both men and women.
