The spelling of the word "ex cessed" can be a bit confusing for some. The correct pronunciation is /ɛksˈsɛst/ with the emphasis on the second syllable. The prefix "ex" means "out of" or "beyond," while the word "cessed" refers to being terminated or ended. In simpler terms, the word means to go beyond an acceptable limit. Remember that the double "s" indicates a soft "s" sound, which is followed by a hard "c" sound, pronounced as /k/.
There is no word "ex cessed" in the English language.
