How Do You Spell FURTIV?
Pronunciation: [fˈɜːtɪv] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "furtiv" may seem unusual to some, but it can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The word is actually spelled "furtive," with the final "-e" being pronounced as a schwa /ə/. In some cases, this final vowel is often elided and the word may be pronounced without it, further contributing to the mistaken spelling. The word "furtive" means attempting to avoid notice or attention, often due to a sense of guilt or wrongdoing.
