The word "higson" is not a commonly used word, nor is it listed in most dictionaries. However, if the pronunciation of the word is taken into consideration, it can be spelled phonetically as /ˈhɪɡsən/. The stress falls on the first syllable "hig," which is pronounced with a short "i" sound followed by a hard "g." The second syllable is pronounced with a short "o" sound before the "s" and is finished with an "n" sound. Regardless of its usage, knowing the IPA transcription can help with proper spelling.
