Pronunciation: [ˈa͡ʊnslə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Ounslow" may seem a bit confusing at first glance. It is actually pronounced as "Awnz-lōw" and is often misspelled as "Isleworth." The phonetic transcription for Ounslow is /aʊnz-ləʊ/. It is a large town in the western part of London, situated in the borough of Hounslow. It is home to several prominent landmarks and attractions, including the famous Hounslow Heath and the Treaty Centre shopping complex.
The etymology of the word "Ounslow" can be traced back to its Old English form "Houneslowe" or "Honeslowe". The name is derived from two elements: "hoh" or "hōh", meaning a hill or a mound, and "hlāw", meaning a low or a burial mound. So, "Ounslow" essentially means "the hill with the low mound" or "hill with the burial mound". The name refers to the geographical features of the area, suggesting that it was once a place with hills and possibly mounds. Over time, the spelling of the name has evolved from Houneslowe to Ounslow, and finally to the current spelling, Hounslow.
