How Do You Spell DOUTT?

Pronunciation: [dˈa͡ʊt] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "doutt" is incorrect. The correct spelling is "doubt" /daʊt/. The IPA phonetic transcription of the word "doubt" shows that the sound /d/ is followed by the diphthong /aʊ/ and then the sound /t/. This is often confusing for non-native English speakers who may not be familiar with the English orthography. It is important to double-check spelling and pronunciation to avoid confusion in communication.

Etymology of DOUTT

Ultimately, it can be traced back to the Latin word "dubitare", meaning "to doubt" or "to hesitate". Over time, "douten" evolved into "doute" in Middle French, and later transformed into "doubt" in Modern English.
