How Do You Spell PTERYGOSPINOUS?

Pronunciation: [tˌɜːɹɪɡˈɒspɪnəs] (IPA)

The word "pterygospinous" (pronounced /ˌtɛrʌɡoʊˈspaɪnəs/) is a medical term that refers to the connection between the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone and the spine. Its spelling can be a bit confusing due to the combination of the letters "pt" and "sp".

Knowing this can make it easier to correctly spell and pronounce this complex medical term.
