How Do You Spell PROSELYTIZED?

Pronunciation: [pɹˈɒslɪtˌa͡ɪzd] (IPA)

The word "proselytized" is spelled with a "y" instead of an "i" because it is derived from the Greek word "proselytos" which means "convert". In the Greek language, the "y" sound is represented by the letter "upsilon" which is similar to the Latin letter "y". Therefore, the correct spelling of the word in English is "proselytized" with the IPA transcription of /ˈprɑːsəlaɪtɪzd/ to indicate the correct pronunciation of the word.
