The spelling of the word "Gaytre" is unique and may be confusing to some. The correct pronunciation is /ˈɡeɪtər/. The initial "g" is pronounced with a hard "g" sound as in "go". The "ay" is pronounced like "ae" in "aerial". The "t" is pronounced with a soft "t" sound as in "butter". The final "r" is not pronounced, making it a silent letter. Despite its odd spelling, "Gaytre" is a recognizable word that refers to a type of leg covering that extends from the ankle to the knee.
