How Do You Spell SURFACED?

Pronunciation: [sˈɜːfɪst] (IPA)

The word "Surfaced" is commonly spelled with a single "f". However, the IPA phonetic transcription suggests that it should be spelled with a double "f" as /ˈsɜːfɪst/. The reason for this is that the suffix "-ed" is added to the base word "surface", which is spelled with a double "f". Therefore, when we add the "-ed" suffix to "surface", we should maintain its original spelling and not drop one of the "f"s. This highlights the importance of understanding the underlying phonetics of a word when spelling it correctly.

SURFACED Meaning and Definition

    Beyond the physical realm, surfaced can also be used metaphorically to express the emergence or revelation of something previously unknown, hidden, or suppressed.
