How Do You Spell COMMANDATORY?
Pronunciation: [kˈɒmandətəɹˌi] (IPA) 
The word "Commandatory" is often misspelled as "Mandatory" due to their similar pronunciation.

The stress falls on the second syllable, indicated by the schwa symbol, and it is followed by the distinct "mænd" sound. The ending "-atory" is commonly used in words of Latin origin, and it denotes a place, function, or role. Therefore, "Commandatory" refers to something that is required or ordered by authority.
