Pronunciation: [ɛnθˈɛtɪk] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "enthetic" can be a bit confusing due to the silent "h". It is pronounced /ɛnˈθɛtɪk/ (en-thet-ik) with the stress on the second syllable. The "th" in the middle of the word is pronounced like a "t" followed by an "h" sound, called a voiceless dental fricative. This word is an adjective that means relating to or arising from an internal urge or impulse, especially one that is irrational or illogical.

The word "enthetic" does not have a well-established etymology. It is a relatively rare and specialized term, used primarily in the fields of anatomy and linguistics, and does not have a widely known or traced origin. However, the term is derived from the Greek word "en", meaning "in", and "thesis", meaning "a putting or placing". The combination of these elements suggests that "enthetic" refers to something that is put or placed within.
