How Do You Spell THINNED?

Pronunciation: [θˈɪnd] (IPA)

The word "thinned" is spelled with two consonant letters, "th" and "n", that are pronounced with voiceless sounds. The "th" sound here is represented by the IPA symbol θ, which is produced by placing the tip of the tongue between the upper and lower teeth and blowing air out. The "n" sound is represented by the symbol n, which is a simple oral consonant made by touching the tip of the tongue to the alveolar ridge behind the upper teeth. Together, these two sounds create the word "thinned", which means to make something thinner or less dense.

Etymology of THINNED

The word "thinned" is the past participle of the verb "thin". The etymology of "thin" is traced back to the Old English word "þynne", which was in use as early as the 9th century. This Old English term is further derived from the Germanic language group, specifically from the Middle Low German word "thunne" and the Old Norse "thunnr". The ultimate origin is uncertain, but it is believed to potentially relate to the Proto-Indo-European root "*ténh₂us", meaning "stretch". Over time, "thin" has retained its basic meaning of "having little width" or "not dense".
