How Do You Spell MORE CONTRADISTINCT?

Pronunciation: [mˈɔː kˌɒntɹədɪstˈɪŋkt] (IPA)

The spelling of the phrase "more contradistinct" is quite complex. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is pronounced as /mɔːr kɒntrədɪˈstɪŋkt/. The first part "more" is straightforward, pronounced as in English. However, "contradistinct" - the second half of the phrase - requires a bit of explanation.

Overall, this phrase can be quite a mouthful to pronounce!

Etymology of MORE CONTRADISTINCT

The word "more" can be traced back to Middle English, deriving from the Old English word "māra", meaning greater or increased. Contradistinct, on the other hand, comes from Latin roots. It stems from the Latin word "contra", meaning against or opposite, and "distinctus", meaning divided or separate. The combination of these elements gives rise to the meaning of contradistinct, which refers to something being sharply differentiated or distinguished from something else.
