The word "Kissingcrust" may seem peculiarly spelled, but it follows the English language's sound-symbol correspondence. The first syllable "Kiss" is spelled as it is pronounced /kɪs/ and the second syllable "ing" is spelled /ɪŋ/ to denote the nasal sound of the word. Lastly, "crust" is spelled /krʌst/ which is the standard spelling of the word. Thus, "Kissingcrust" follows the English language's phonetic rules to form a unique word that denotes a type of crust that kisses the filling in a pie.
