Pronunciation: [kˈɒlənə] (IPA) 
The word "Coloner" is often misspelled as "colonel". This is because it is derived from the Italian word "colonnello" which was then changed to "coronel" in Spanish and "colonel" in English. The pronunciation of "colonel" is /ˈkɜːrnəl/, which may appear confusing due to the silent "o" and the change of "r" to "l". The correct spelling can easily be remembered through its origin and by practicing the correct pronunciation (/ˈkɜːrnəl/).
The word Coloner is actually derived from the French word colonel. The term colonel can be traced back to the Italian word colonello, which means column or chief of a column. In this context, column refers to a military unit marching in formation. The word colonello was later borrowed into French as colonel.
The origins of colonello are debated, but it is believed to come from the Latin words columna (meaning column) or colonna (meaning pillar). The use of colonel to refer to a military rank was established in the late 16th century and gradually spread to various other languages, including English. Over time, the pronunciation of colonel evolved, leading to the slightly different spelling and pronunciation of Coloner.
