The word "Entastic" is a rare term in the English language that refers to the sensation of tension or strain in muscles. Its spelling is derived from Greek, where the prefix 'en-' means 'in' or 'within', and the root word 'tasis' means 'tension'. To pronounce "Entastic", use the IPA phonetic transcription: /ɛnˈtæstɪk/. The emphasis is on the second syllable, which is pronounced with a short "a" sound followed by "stik".
