The spelling of the word "Tossy" can be explained through its IPA phonetic transcription, which is /ˈtɒsi/. The first sound, /t/, represents the unvoiced alveolar plosive, followed by the open back unrounded vowel, /ɒ/. The next sound, /s/, is the unvoiced alveolar fricative, and the final sound, /i/, is the close front unrounded vowel. The spelling of this word follows the common English spelling patterns for words ending with a "y" and an "oss" sound, such as "bossy" or "flossy."
