How Do You Spell NECKED?

Pronunciation: [nˈɛkt] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "necked" is peculiar when compared to other words with a similar structure. The correct pronunciation is /nɛkt/, with the "ck" representing a /k/ sound rather than a /s/ as in words like "wicked" or "licked". This is because the "ck" is a digraph that indicates a hard /k/ sound when it appears after short vowels, as in "back" or "sick". So next time you encounter the word "necked", remember to pronounce it with a hard "k" sound, not a "s" sound.

NECKED Meaning and Definition

1. Necked is an adjective that describes the act of having or showing a neck or a particular type of neck. The term is derived from the noun "neck," which refers to the part of the body connecting the head and the torso in humans and many other animals. In a broader sense, "necked" is sometimes used to describe objects or structures that have a narrow or elongated shape resembling a neck.

   In the context of humans or animals, being necked refers to having a visible neck or a characteristic neck shape. A person is considered necked when their neck is exposed or bare due to the absence of clothing or accessories that would normally cover it. This term can also refer to individuals who possess a slender or elongated neck, often viewed as an attractive feature.

   On the other hand, when referring to objects or structures, necked describes a shape that is narrower in the middle and wider at the ends, resembling the shape of a bottle or an hourglass. This term is commonly used in fields such as architecture, engineering, and design, where the shape and proportions of structures are carefully studied and considered.

2. Having a neck-used only in composition, as stiff-necked.
