How Do You Spell PRISE?

Pronunciation: [pɹˈa͡ɪz] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "prise" can be confusing for many English speakers. The correct pronunciation is /praɪz/. The "pr" at the beginning is pronounced with a voiced bilabial fricative, which is the same sound as the "b" in "baby". The "i" in the middle is pronounced with a long "a" sound, and the "s" at the end is pronounced with an unvoiced alveolar fricative - this is the same sound as the "s" in "sit". Remembering this pronunciation can help ensure the correct spelling of "prise".

PRISE Meaning and Definition

  1. Prise is a verb that can have multiple meanings depending on the context. It is both a transitive verb and a noun, and its origins can be traced back to the Old French word "prisier," meaning "to appreciate" or "to esteem." As a verb, it primarily refers to the action of using force or leverage to open or separate something that is tightly closed or fixed in place, often with the aid of a tool or an instrument. This can include actions such as using a crowbar to prise open a door or prising open a stubborn lid.

    Prise can also mean an action or effort to obtain or obtain control of something, especially through skillful manipulation or persuasion. In this sense, it is often used in a metaphorical context, such as trying to prise information from someone or prising open new markets. It implies a deliberate and persistent effort to gain access or possession.

    As a noun, prise refers to the act of prising or the leverage exerted by a tool or instrument in prising. It can also refer to the advantage, benefit, or gain obtained through prising, or the value or worth of something obtained or achieved.

    Overall, "prise" represents the action or effort of using force or leverage to open, separate, obtain, or gain control of something.

Etymology of PRISE

The word "prise" has its origins in Old French. It can be traced back to the verb "preindre", which means "to press, rub, or squeeze". Over time, this word evolved into the noun "prise", which in turn came to signify "an act of taking or seizing, particularly by force or effort". The term later made its way into Middle English as "prise", where it retained a similar meaning. Today, "prise" is often used as a verb meaning "to lever or force open" or as a noun referring to the act of using leverage to open something or the advantage gained by doing so.
