The word "contemptuousnesses" is a mouthful to pronounce and not surprisingly, it's also a challenging word to spell. In phonetic transcription, this word would be written as /kənˌtɛmptʃuəsˈnɛsɪz/. It is spelled with a double "t" after the "p" and double "s" towards the end to indicate the dual nature of the "t" and "s" sounds. The -ness and -es endings signify the plural form of the noun. Despite its tricky spelling, the word accurately describes a hostile, negative attitude towards someone or something.
