How Do You Spell DE TACH?

Pronunciation: [də tˈak] (IPA)

The word "de tach" is spelled with the letter "t" followed by the letter "ch," which can be confusing for some English speakers. However, the IPA phonetic transcription makes it clear that the "ch" sound is actually the voiceless palato-alveolar affricate, represented by the symbol /tʃ/. This sound is made by combining the "t" sound with the "sh" sound, creating a sharp, hissing noise. Therefore, the correct spelling of this word is "de-tach" to reflect this unique sound combination.

Etymology of DE TACH

The word "detach" originated from the Old French term "destachier", which can be broken down into two elements: "des", meaning "apart", and "atachier", meaning "to fasten" or "to attach". The Old French word "atachier" ultimately derives from the Vulgar Latin term "attacciāre", which has the same meaning. Over time, "destachier" transformed into "détacher" in Middle French, which was then borrowed into English as "detach" in the late 16th century.
