The word "parapycnomorphous" is a mouthful. It is spelled using the IPA phonetic transcription, which breaks down the word into its individual sounds. In IPA, "para" is pronounced as /ˈpærə/, "pycno" is pronounced as /ˈpɪknəʊ/ and "morphous" is pronounced as /ˈmɔːrfəs/. When combined, the word is pronounced as /ˌpærəpaɪkˈnoʊmɔːrfəs/. The word means "similar in appearance or form, but distinct in structure or origin," highlighting the importance of precision in language, including precision in spelling.
Noting a cell or other structure which stains fairly well yet not markedly; one which is neither frankly pycnomorphous nor apycnomorphous.
