How Do You Spell ABRIDGED OF?

Pronunciation: [ɐbɹˈɪd͡ʒd ɒv] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "abridged of" can be confusing due to the presence of the silent "r" sound. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled /ə'briːdʒd əv/. The first syllable, "a-", is pronounced like the "uh" sound in "up". The second syllable, "-bridged", is pronounced like "brijd" with a long "i" sound. The final syllable, "-of", is pronounced like "uhv". Together, the word means that something has been shortened or condensed from its original form.
