The word "introvertish" is a term commonly used in English to describe someone who displays some characteristics of introversion. The spelling of this word can be broken down into three phonetic parts: the prefix "in-" (pronounced /ˈɪn/), meaning "not," the root word "introvert" (pronounced /ˈɪntrəvərt/), meaning someone who is shy or reserved, and the suffix "-ish" (pronounced /ɪʃ/), meaning somewhat or resembling. Therefore, "introvertish" can be pronounced /ˈɪn.trə.vərt.ɪʃ/ and is spelled accordingly.
