How Do You Spell MORE REVULSIVE?

Pronunciation: [mˈɔː ɹɪvˈʌlsɪv] (IPA)

The correct spelling of the word "more revulsive" is actually "more revolting" /mɔː(r) rɪˈvɒltɪŋ/. The confusion may stem from the similarity in sound between "revulsive" /rɪˈvʌlsɪv/ and "revolting", but the former does not have the same meaning as the latter. "Revulsive" refers to something that causes a physical or emotional recoil, while "revolting" means causing intense disgust or repulsion. It is important to use the correct spelling to ensure clear and effective communication.

Etymology of MORE REVULSIVE

The word "revulsive" originated from the Latin term "revulsivus", which is derived from the verb "revellere" meaning "to tear away" or "to rip off". It entered the English language in the late 18th century, used to describe a medical treatment that involved drawing or diverting bodily fluids away from a particular area. The prefix "more", when combined with "revulsive", intensifies the meaning, indicating a greater degree or stronger effect.
