The word "Surcrew" is a combination of two words: "Sur" and "Crew". The IPA phonetic transcription would be /sərkr(j)u/. The "Sur" part comes from the French word "sur" meaning "on" or "above", pronounced "sər". The "Crew" part is pronounced "kr(j)u" with a silent "w". Thus, the spelling of "Surcrew" reflects the two words it is made up of and is pronounced as "sər-kr(j)u". This word could refer to a group of people who work above the surface, such as on a ship.
