The second syllable, "obtaining," is pronounced /əbˈteɪnɪŋ/, with the stress on the second syllable and an unstressed schwa sound in the first syllable.

However, with proper pronunciation and attention to the individual sounds, this word can be easily understood and spelled correctly.
The term "more obtaining" seems to be a combination of two separate words: "more" and "obtaining".
1. More: The word "more" originated from the Old English word "māra", which means "greater in amount, extent, or degree". It evolved from the Proto-Germanic word "*maiz", and can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*me-" meaning "big, great". Its usage has remained consistent throughout history, referring to a larger quantity or a higher degree of something.
2. Obtaining: The word "obtaining" comes from the verb "obtain", which is derived from the Old French "obtenir". The Old French term traces back to the Latin verb "obtinere", which combines the prefix "ob-" (meaning "against" or "towards") and "tenere" (meaning "to hold").
