The word "durfey" is an uncommonly used word in the English language. It is spelled /ˈdɜːr.fi/, phonetically. The stress falls on the first syllable, with a short "u" sound followed by an "r" and "f" sound that is pronounced quickly. The second syllable has a long "e" sound, followed by a "y" sound with a glide. This word is derived from the name of the 17th-century playwright and poet, Thomas Durfey, but is not a common spelling in modern usage.
