How Do You Spell FRICACE?
Pronunciation: [fɹˈɪke͡ɪs] (IPA) 
Fricace is a word whose spelling can be somewhat puzzling. Pronounced /ˈfrɪkəs/, it actually derives from the French word fricassée, meaning a dish made with chicken or other meat, cooked in a white sauce. The English spelling of this word was probably influenced by phonetic spelling, as the French pronunciation of "ss" can be quite subtle. Nevertheless, it has become a commonly-used term, particularly in the culinary world, where it is now generally understood to refer to any type of meat or vegetable stewed in a sauce.
