The word "synotus" is not a commonly used word in English, and thus its spelling might not be familiar to many people. The IPA phonetic transcription of the word is /sɪˈnoʊtəs/. The word contains five letters and two syllables. The first syllable starts with an /s/ sound, followed by an /ɪ/ sound, then a stressed /noʊ/ sound, and ends with an unstressed /təs/ sound. The spelling of the word is based on its Latin root, "sinus," which means "bend" or "curve."
