Pronunciation: [tˈɑːtɹe͡ɪtɪd] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the word "Tartrated" is /ˈtɑːtreɪtɪd/. It is pronounced as tar-treh-tid. In the IPA phonetic transcription, the first syllable is pronounced with a long "a" sound followed by the "r" sound, while the second syllable contains the "eh" sound as in "set", the "t" sound, and finally the "ihd" sound. The word refers to a process of reacting a compound with tartaric acid and is commonly used in chemistry.
Tartrated is an adjective that originates from the noun tartar. It refers to the presence or characteristic of tartar or a substance that contains tartar. Tartar, in turn, has multiple meanings depending on the context. It can refer to a hard deposit that forms on the teeth composed mainly of calcium phosphate and carbonate, which can lead to tooth decay if not properly removed through regular oral hygiene. In dentistry, tartar is often called calculus.
In a broader sense, tartar can also describe a crystalline acid salt formed from tartaric acid. Tartaric acid is a natural compound found in certain fruits, such as grapes, and is commonly used in food and beverage applications as an acidulant or a flavoring agent. Tartar or tartrate is commonly used in culinary practices, particularly in the production of wine, where tartaric acid naturally occurs in grapes and can precipitate as crystals or sediments during fermentation or ageing processes. These tartrated sediments are often removed by winemakers through a process called racking.
Therefore, when something is described as tartrated, it usually means that it contains or has a connection to tartar or tartric acid, whether in the context of dental health or culinary applications.

The word "tartrated" is derived from the noun "tartrate". "Tartrate" originates from the French term "tartrate", which came from the Latin word "tartarum", meaning tartar. "Tartar" itself originated from the Arabic word "tartar", which referred to a salt used in the process of winemaking. "Tartrate" is commonly used in chemistry to describe salts or esters formed from tartaric acid, a naturally occurring acid often found in fruits like grapes. The adjective "tartrated" simply refers to something that is related to or contains tartrate compounds.
