How Do You Spell GARLAND?

Pronunciation: [ɡˈɑːlənd] (IPA)

The word "garland" (/ˈɡɑːrlənd/) is spelled with a silent "d" in the middle. The IPA phonetic transcription of the word shows us that the "l" sound is being held longer than usual, creating a slight pause before the "d" sound is pronounced. This may be confusing for non-native English speakers or those unfamiliar with the word, as the spelling may suggest that the "d" should be pronounced. However, with practice and familiarity, the correct pronunciation can become second nature.

Etymology of GARLAND

The word garland originated from the Old French word guirlande or garlande, which was derived from the Late Latin word wreath or crown known as wirlanda. This Latin term had the sense of a circular band or chaplet made from woven flowers, leaves, or other decorative materials and used as an adornment for the head or neck. The word wirlanda is believed to have its roots in the Germanic language, combining the element wir, meaning bend or twist, and landa, meaning band or ribbon. Over time, guirlande and garlande were anglicized to become the modern English word garland.
