How Do You Spell HYDROBIOUS?

Pronunciation: [ha͡ɪdɹˈə͡ʊbɪəs] (IPA)

The term "hydrobious" is a rare word that is spelled using the Greek root "hydro" meaning water and the suffix "-bious" meaning living. It is pronounced as [haɪ-'drɑː-bi-əs] in IPA phonetic transcription. This word is used to describe organisms that can survive in water environments, like amphibians or insects. However, it is important to note that the standard spelling for this term is actually "hydrophilous." Confusion between the two spellings might arise from "bious" being a more recognizable suffix for words indicating life or survival.
