Pronunciation: [kɹəkˈɛt] (IPA) 
The word "croquette" is spelled with two "t's" at the end, not just one. The correct spelling of the word is "croquett," with the second "t" being silent. This word refers to a small, bite-sized food that is usually made with a combination of chopped meat, vegetables, and spices, all rolled into a ball and then deep-fried. It has a French origin, hence the unique spelling. The phonetic transcription of "croquett" is /krɒkˈɛt/.
The word "croquet" derives from the French word "croquer", which means "to crunch" or "to bite". In turn, "croquer" traces back to the Old Norse word "krōkr", which denoted a hook or a curved device. The game of croquet involves the hitting of wooden balls with a mallet through hoops embedded in the ground, and the action of striking the ball can be likened to a biting or crunching motion. The term was first introduced into English in the mid-19th century from French, adopting its current spelling as "croquet".
