"Dezymotize" is a relatively uncommon word that refers to the process of reducing an enzyme's activity or effectiveness. The spelling of this word can be explained using International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols. The first syllable "de-" is pronounced with a short "e" sound /dɛ/, while the second syllable "-zymo-" has a long "i" sound /zaɪm/. The final syllable "-tize" is pronounced with a long "i" sound and a soft "z" sound /taɪz/. Therefore, the phonetic transcription of this word is /dɛzaɪmoʊtaɪz/.
