The word "uropsammus" is not a commonly used term, but it refers to a type of sandpiper bird found in some coastal areas. The spelling of the word is derived from its Greek roots, with "uro" meaning "tail" and "psammus" meaning "sand." In IPA phonetic transcription, the pronunciation of "uropsammus" would be /jʊˈrɑpˌsæməs/, with the stress on the second syllable. For bird enthusiasts and ornithologists, learning the correct spelling and pronunciation of such terms is important for accurate communication within their field.
