The spelling of the word "hitmanwomen" seems unusual at first glance, but it can be broken down using IPA phonetic transcription. The word consists of three parts: "hit," "man," and "women." The "i" in "hit" is pronounced as /ɪ/ and the "a" in "man" is pronounced as /æ/. The word "women" is spelled with an "e" to indicate that the pronunciation is different from "woman," with the final syllable pronounced as /ɪn/ rather than /ən/. Together, these sounds form an intriguing and unconventional word.
