How Do You Spell INCURRED?

Pronunciation: [ɪnkˈɜːd] (IPA)

The word "incurred" is spelled with a double "c" and a double "r" (in-curr-d), which can cause confusion for some English learners. The reason for the doubling is because the stress falls on the second syllable, which requires a consonant to follow it. Additionally, the "ed" at the end of the word is pronounced as "d," not "t," because it follows a voiced consonant. Therefore, the correct IPA transcription for "incurred" is /ɪnˈkɜːrd/.

INCURRED Meaning and Definition

  1. Incurred is a verb that refers to the act of becoming subject to or acquiring liabilities, expenses, or obligations. It describes the process of bringing about or causing something, usually in terms of negative consequences or financial implications. When someone incurs something, they generally become responsible for or bear the burden of the associated costs or obligations.

    In a more specific context, the term is frequently used in financial and accounting contexts. For example, a business may incur expenses or costs when it purchases goods or services, hires employees, or invests in resources. These expenses are then recorded as liabilities or obligations in the company's financial records.

    In addition to financial matters, the concept of incurring may also apply to non-monetary consequences. For instance, someone may incur penalties, damages, or legal repercussions as a result of their actions or decisions. This can be seen in various legal or contractual agreements, where breaching the terms and conditions may incur certain penalties, obligations, or liabilities.

    It is important to note that incurring something implies that the individual or entity has actively brought upon themselves the situation or outcome, as opposed to it being a random or uncontrollable event. In this sense, incurring conveys a sense of responsibility or accountability for the resulting consequences or obligations.

Etymology of INCURRED

The word "incurred" is derived from the Latin word "incurrere". "Incurrere" is a combination of the prefix "in-" which means "into" or "towards", and the verb "currere" meaning "to run". So, the literal meaning of "incurrere" is "to run into" or "to run towards". Over time, the word "incurrere" evolved into the Old French word "encorre", and later into the Middle English word "encur" or "incur", which eventually became "incurred" in its current form in Modern English.
