The word "haggishness" is spelled with a double "g" and "h" to reflect its root word "haggis," which is a Scottish dish made of sheep's innards. The "gh" combination is pronounced as a guttural "h" sound in Scots Gaelic. The suffix "-ness" is added to convey the quality or state of being haggis-like. The phonetic transcription of "haggishness" is /ˈhæɡ.ɪʃ.nəs/, where the "g" is pronounced as "g" in "get," the "h" is silent, and the vowel sounds are short "a," short "i," and unstressed "ə."
