How Do You Spell LEPTOSTROTERATE?
Pronunciation: [lˈɛptəstɹˌə͡ʊtɹe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
"Leptostroterate" is a rarely used word that refers to the long, narrow structure of some plant leaves. Its spelling can be broken down using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as "lɛptoʊstrotəreɪt." The first syllable, "lepto," means "small" or "thin," while "strot" refers to "a strewing," and "erate" indicates a "formed" or "arranged" state. Thus, "leptostroterate" denotes a structure that is thin and arranged in a pattern. Although not commonly used, the word shows the rich diversity and complexity of the English language.
