How Do You Spell ECHINOLOGICAL?
Pronunciation: [ˌɛt͡ʃɪnəlˈɒd͡ʒɪkə͡l] (IPA) 
Echinological is a word derived from the scientific name for sea urchins - Echinoidea. The correct pronunciation involves four syllables and is represented in IPA phonetic transcription as /ɛkiːnəˈlɒdʒɪkəl/. The initial "e" is pronounced as "eh," with the following "i" being pronounced as "ee." The "ch" is pronounced as "k" and the final "o" is pronounced as "ə."
