How Do You Spell NETTLINGS?
Pronunciation: [nˈɛtlɪŋz] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "nettlings" is peculiar and can be traced back to its Old English origins. The first syllable "nett" comes from the Old English "netel," which means "nettle." The second syllable "-lings" is a suffix that indicates a group or offspring, as in "ducklings" or "saplings." The phonetic transcription is /ˈnɛt.lɪŋz/, with stress on the first syllable. So, "nettlings" refers to a group of nettles or young nettles, which can cause an uncomfortable sting if touched.
