The spelling of the word "undecadent" is often confusing for some people. According to IPA phonetic transcription, the correct pronunciation is /ʌndɪˈkeɪdənt/. The prefix "un-" means "not", while "decadent" means "in a state of moral or cultural decline." So, "undecadent" means "not in a state of moral or cultural decline." Despite its unconventional appearance, the word's spelling follows typical English rules, with "-ent" denoting an adjective meaning "having a specified quality."
