The correct spelling of the word most girded is /moʊst ɡɜːrdɪd/. The first syllable is pronounced using the long "o" sound, while the second syllable is pronounced with the "er" sound. The "d" at the end is voiced when followed by a vowel, which is why it is pronounced as /ɡɜːrdɪd/ instead of /ɡɜːrt/. Girded means to encircle or surround, and the use of the word "most" emphasizes that something is almost completely surrounded or protected.
