Layden, spelled /leɪdən/, is an English word that means "full of a particular thing, especially an unpleasant one." The pronunciation of the word follows the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) guidelines, with the symbol /eɪ/ representing the 'ay' sound in "lay," followed by the unstressed vowel /ə/ and the consonant /d/. The spelling of "layden" is unique, with no other commonly used English words ending in "-den," and is often confused with the similar-looking "laden."
