Sursumversion, a term originating from Latin, refers to an upward displacement or rotation of an organ or structure within the body. The correct pronunciation of this word is [su:r.sʌm.vər.ʒən], with the stress placed on the first syllable. In this phonetic transcription, the symbol "ʌ" represents the vowel sound in "cup," while "ə" represents the schwa sound in unstressed syllables. The combination of "v" and "r" is pronounced as a voiced fricative, [vɹ], and the "ʒ" sound represents the "s" sound in "measure."
