Pronunciation: [vˈɜːtɪkə͡l] (IPA) 
"Verticle" is an incorrect spelling of the word "vertical". The correct spelling is "vertical", with the emphasis on the second syllable. The phonetic transcription for "vertical" is /ˈvɜːtɪkəl/, with the "v" sound followed by the schwa sound in the first syllable, then the "t" sound, and the "i" sound pronounced as the short "i" vowel sound. The word then ends with the schwa sound in the last syllable, represented by the symbol "ə".
Vertical:
Vertical is an adjective describing something that is positioned or oriented in an upright direction, perpendicular to the horizon, or parallel to the Earth's gravitational pull. It refers to the alignment or arrangement of an object or a line that extends straight upward or downward in relation to a reference plane. When an object is said to be vertical, it implies that it stands straight up or lies straight down without leaning, tilting, or deviating from the vertical line.
In everyday usage, the term vertical is commonly associated with the concept of height or altitude, as opposed to the horizontal plane. For example, when referring to a vertical line, it denotes a straight line that extends vertically from top to bottom, without any incline or slant. Similarly, a vertical position refers to an object or person being situated in an upright, straight-up-and-down orientation.
In the fields of architecture, engineering, physics, and graphic design, the concept of verticality plays a crucial role. It is employed to describe structural elements and design principles aligned with the vertical axis, such as columns, walls, pillars, or compositions where the height is emphasized. The concept of verticality also extends to various fields of study, including geology, astronomy, and mathematics, where it is used to describe the relative positioning or alignment of different elements or the direction of forces.
The correct spelling of the word is "Vertical", and its etymology can be traced back to the Latin word "vertex", which means "the highest point" or "top". The word ultimately comes from the combination of the Latin words "vertere", meaning "to turn", and "arcus", meaning "bow" or "arch". Thus, "vertical" originally referred to something that was positioned in an upright direction, perpendicular to the horizon, as if reaching towards the highest point. In English, the word "vertical" has been in use since the mid-16th century.
