How Do You Spell PERSON?

Pronunciation: [pˈɜːsən] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "person" can be a little tricky due to its vowel sounds. The first vowel sound is an "ɜː" like in "her," rather than a short "e" sound like "tense." The second vowel sound is an "ə" like in "uh," making it a schwa sound. This is followed by a "s" sound and then the "n" sound. The IPA phonetic transcription for the word "person" is /ˈpɜːrsən/. Mastering the correct spelling of this word can help in improving your communication skills.

Etymology of PERSON

The word "person" originated from the Latin word "persona", which referred to the masks worn by actors in ancient theatrical performances. This Latin term eventually broadened in meaning to encompass the individual roles or characters being portrayed. From there, "persona" began to be used to denote an individual's public image, role, or character in society. In Medieval Latin, "persona" further evolved to mean an individual human being as a legal entity. This usage carried over into Old French, where the word became "persone" and later entered Middle English as "person". Therefore, the etymology of the word "person" can be traced back to its Latin roots, associated with theatrical masks and the concept of individual identity.
