The word "sarcocystieian" is a mouthful, but its spelling can be broken down using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first part, "sarco," is pronounced /ˈsɑːkəʊ/ (SAHR-koh), meaning flesh, while "cyst" is pronounced /sɪst/ (sist), meaning a closed sac. The "ieian" ending is a combination of the suffix "-ie" (/iː/ EE) and "-ian" (/iːən/ EE-uhn), indicating that it belongs to a certain type or category. Therefore, "sarcocystieian" refers to a group of organisms that form cysts in flesh.
