The word "more rotatory" is often misspelled as "more rotary" due to the similarity in pronunciation. However, the correct spelling includes the letter "o" between "r" and "t". In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled as /mɔːr rəʊtətəri/. This indicates that the first syllable is pronounced as "mawr" with a long "o" sound and the second syllable is pronounced with a short "o" sound before the "t" and "əri" sounds. Proper spelling is important to accurately convey meaning and prevent confusion.
The etymology of the word "more rotatory" can be traced back to the combination of two separate words: "more" and "rotatory".
1. More: The word "more" originated from the Old English word "māra", which means "greater in number, size, or intensity". It evolved over time and has been used in the English language to indicate a comparative degree or quantity.
2. Rotatory: The word "rotatory" is derived from the Latin word "rotatorius", which means "turning around" or "revolving". In English, it is an adjective that describes something capable of rotating or revolving.
When these two words are combined, "more rotatory" is used to indicate something that is even more capable of rotating or revolving than another object or previous state.
