How Do You Spell TOWSEND?
Pronunciation: [tˈə͡ʊznd] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Towsend" may be confusing to some due to the silent "w." In IPA phonetic transcription, this word would be written as /taʊzənd/. The "ow" diphthong represents the vowel sound in "out," while the "z" and "d" sounds are pronounced as normal. The silent "w" can be explained as a remnant of the Old English spelling of the word, which was "Tunsenda," and over time, the "n" was dropped and the "w" became silent in pronunciation.
