How Do You Spell STATEMENT?

Pronunciation: [stˈe͡ɪtmənt] (IPA)

Spelling can be tricky, and the word "statement" is no exception. It is spelled with a silent "e," which can sometimes cause confusion. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /ˈsteɪtmənt/, which breaks it down into individual sounds. The "st" blend, followed by the long "a" sound and the "t" sound, make up the beginning of the word. The "m" sound is followed by a schwa sound, and the word ends with a strong "t" sound. Remembering these individual sounds can help with correct spelling.

Etymology of STATEMENT

The word "statement" originated from the Old French term "estatement", derived from the verb "estatier", which means "to state".

Ultimately, the Latin word lent the sense of something being "established" or "fixed" to the word "statement". Over time, the meaning of "statement" evolved to refer to expressing ideas or facts, particularly in a clear and definite manner.
