How Do You Spell GAGGLE?

Pronunciation: [ɡˈaɡə͡l] (IPA)

Gaggle is a word used to describe a group of geese. The spelling of the word is quite simple, but the English language can be somewhat confusing. The word is spelled with two G's, yet only one of them is pronounced. The IPA phonetic transcription for gaggle is /ˈɡæɡəl/, with the emphasized syllable being the first one. The silent G is the result of the word's origin in Old Norse, where the word was spelled "geggi". Over time, the extra G was dropped in English, but the spelling remained.
