How Do You Spell INSATIABLENESS?

Pronunciation: [ɪnsˈe͡ɪʃɪəbə͡lnəs] (IPA)

Insatiableness is spelled with the letter "t" twice despite the fact that it's pronounced with one "t" sound. This can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The "tn" sequence in insatiableness is a sequence of a nasal consonant followed by a voiceless stop consonant. This sequence is simplified in pronunciation to just the nasal consonant, which is why the word is pronounced with one "t" sound despite the spelling.

Etymology of INSATIABLENESS

The word insatiableness is formed from the roots in-, which is a prefix indicating negation or not, and satiableness. Satiableness is derived from the word satisfy, which comes from the Latin word satisfacere, formed by combining satis meaning enough or sufficient and facere meaning to do or to make. Therefore, satisfy originally meant to do enough or to do sufficiently. By adding the negative prefix in-, the word insatiableness is formed, meaning the state of being unable to be satisfied or the quality of being always wanting more.
