How Do You Spell TRANSFIXING?

Pronunciation: [tɹansfˈɪksɪŋ] (IPA)

Transfixing is a word that is often misspelled because of its unusual spelling. The word is pronounced as /trænsˈfɪksɪŋ/ in IPA phonetic transcription. This means that the "trans" is pronounced as "træns" and the "fixing" is pronounced as "fɪksɪŋ". The letter "x" is where most people tend to go wrong. The trick is to remember that it is pronounced as "ks" rather than "z". With a little practice, the spelling of transfixing will become second nature.

TRANSFIXING Meaning and Definition

1. Transfixing, as an adjective, refers to the act or effect of holding one's attention or controlling one's movements completely, often due to a powerful or captivating force. It describes a state of being so engrossed or absorbed by something that it renders one motionless or unable to concentrate on anything else. The term can be used in both literal and figurative contexts.

   In a literal sense, transfixing refers to the act of being physically immobilized, such as by an object or held in suspense. For example, a person watching an intense performance or witnessing a shocking event may be so captivated that they become motionless, thus being transfixed.

   In a figurative context, transfixing implies being completely captivated or mesmerized by something intangible, such as an idea, story, or an individual's presence. It suggests a state of being so deeply absorbed that nothing else seems to matter. This captivation can stem from various factors, including beauty, talent, power, or even fear.

   The effect of transfixing is subjective and can vary from person to person, as what one individual may find transfixing, another might not. The intensity and duration of the transfixing experience can also vary, ranging from fleeting moments to long-lasting captivation.

   Overall, transfixing describes the profound impact of something that captures one's attention so completely that it holds them in an entranced or motionless state, either literally or figuratively.
