Transfuze is an alternative spelling of the word "transfuse", which means to transfer liquid from one container to another, especially blood from a donor to a patient. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /trænsˈfjuːz/. The initial "tran" is pronounced with a short "æ" sound, followed by a stressed "s" and a long "fjuːz" sound, where the "f" blends with the "j" to create a single sound. Although less common, the spelling "transfuze" is sometimes used interchangeably with "transfuse".
