Creotoxin is a toxic substance produced by certain plants, which causes rapid cell death in animal tissues. The spelling of creotoxin can be explained through its IPA phonetic transcription: /kriəʊˈtɒksɪn/. The "c" at the beginning is pronounced "k," followed by a stressed "ee" sound, then "oh" pronounced with a slight dipthong, and a final "t" sound. The second syllable is pronounced with a short "ah" sound and ends with a harsh "ksin" sound. The various sounds in the word, when pronounced accurately, give the word its unique spelling.
