How Do You Spell STRAGGLES?

Pronunciation: [stɹˈaɡə͡lz] (IPA)

The word "straggles" is spelled s-t-r-a-g-g-l-e-s, with a double 'g'. This represents the pronunciation of the word, as the 'g' sound in this context is a voiced velar stop, which means that when pronounced, the sound is created by releasing air from the vocal cords while touching the soft palate with the back of the tongue. This sound is made twice in the word 'straggles' as the syllable 'agg' is emphasized, resulting in the double 'g' spelling.

Etymology of STRAGGLES

The word "straggles" has its origins in Middle English. It comes from the Old French word "estragler", which means "to wander aimlessly". The Old French term itself was derived from the Latin word "extravagari", where "extra" means "outside" and "vagari" means "to wander".
