How Do You Spell DISSERTS?
Pronunciation: [dɪsˈɜːts] (IPA) 
The word "disserts" is spelled with two S's, despite the fact that its root word, "dissect," only has one. This is due to a change in the stress pattern of the word. "Dissect" has its stress on the second syllable, "sek," while "disserts" moves the stress to the first syllable, "dis." This causes the second S to be added for clarity in pronunciation. The phonetic transcription of "disserts" is /dɪˈsərts/, with primary stress (') on the first syllable and secondary stress () on the third.
