Infurcation is not a commonly known word, and its spelling can be confusing. The IPA phonetic transcription of the word is [ɪn.fərˈkeɪ.ʃən], which can help in understanding its pronunciation. The "in" sound is followed by "fur" with a long "a" sound, and the "ca" represents the "kay" sound. Finally, the "-tion" ending is pronounced as "shun." Infurcation means the act of branching or dividing into forks, mostly used in the botanical context. It is usually spelled as "infurcation" but can also be found as "infurcated."
