The word "Pneumophora" is a mouthful, with its unique combination of letters. Its correct phonetic transcription in IPA is /njuːˈmɒfərə/. The first part "pneumo-" is derived from the Greek word "pneuma," meaning "air" or "breath." The second part "-phora" comes from the Greek "phoros," which means "carrying." Together, the word means "air-carrying," referring to the respiratory system in biology. The spelling may be confusing at first, but understanding its etymology can make it easier to remember.
