Palaestric is a term that is commonly used in reference to ancient Greek and Roman sports. The word is spelled with the letter "ae" instead of "e" due to its Latin roots. In phonetic transcription, the word is pronounced as /pəˈliːstrɪk/. The "ae" is pronounced as a diphthong, similar to the "ai" sound in "rain". The "s" is pronounced as a voiced consonant, and the stress is placed on the second syllable.
