How Do You Spell FACETTED?

Pronunciation: [fˈasɛtɪd] (IPA)

The correct spelling of the word "facetted" is often a point of confusion. The reason why it is spelled with double "t" is because the word ends with a stressed syllable followed by the letter T. This phenomenon is known as the "doubling rule". The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /ˈfæsɛtɪd/, with the stress on the second syllable. So, next time you're writing about something that has multiple surfaces, make sure you spell it "faceted" or "facetted" instead of "faced."

FACETTED Meaning and Definition

  1. Facetted is an adjective that refers to the state or quality of having facets. Facets are flat, polished surfaces or sides on an object, typically found on gemstones or on geometric shapes. In the case of gemstones, facets are cut and polished to enhance their brilliance and reflect light in a desirable way, thereby augmenting their aesthetic appeal.

    In a broader sense, facetted can also describe any object or structure that has been intentionally designed or constructed with multiple flat surfaces or sides. These surfaces can be either joined together at various angles to create a three-dimensional shape or exist as separate components.

    The term facetted is often used in geometry and architecture when discussing shapes or structures that possess facets. For example, a regular polyhedron such as a cube or a dodecahedron can be described as facetted due to its flat faces or facets. Similarly, a building or a structure that incorporates a design with multiple angles and flat surfaces can also be referred to as facetted.

    Overall, facetted is a term that highlights the presence of flat, polished surfaces or sides on an object, either for functional or aesthetic purposes.
