How Do You Spell RECALCITRATED?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪkˈalsɪtɹˌe͡ɪtɪd] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "recalcitrated", [ri-kal-si-trey-tid], follows the typical English spelling rules. It starts with the prefix "re-" which means "again" or "back"; followed by "calcitr-" which means "heel" or "kick" and finally adding the verb suffix "-ate" which converts the noun into a verb meaning "to resist authority or control". As with many English words, the spelling of "recalcitrated" may seem complex due to its multi-syllabic structure, but can be easily decoded using IPA phonetic transcription.
