The phrase "more totaled" is spelled using American English phonetics as /ˈmɔr ˈtoʊtəld/. The word 'more' is pronounced with the open-mid back rounded vowel /ɔ/ and the consonant cluster /r/ followed by a schwa /ə/. 'Totaled', on the other hand, is pronounced with stress on the second syllable, and has the consonant cluster /t/, followed by the diphthong /oʊ/ and the voiceless alveolar stop /t/. Therefore, when pronounced correctly, "more totaled" should sound like "mor toe-tuhld" with the stress on the second syllable of "totaled".
The phrase "more totaled" does not have a specific etymology since it is a combination of two English words, "more" and "totaled". However, we can break down the origin of each individual word:
1. "More": The word "more" is derived from the Old English word "māra" which means "greater" or "larger". It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "maizô" and has cognates in other Germanic languages such as German "mehr" and Dutch "meer".
2. "Totaled": The word "totaled" is the past participle of the verb "total". The verb "total" originated in the mid-18th century from the medieval Latin word "tolalis", which means "such as would make good the damage".
