Pronunciation: [mˈɔː spˈuːkt] (IPA) 
The spelling of "more spooked" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) phonetic transcription. The first syllable "more" is pronounced as /mɔː(r)/, with the "o" sound elongated and pronounced as "aw". The second syllable "spooked" is pronounced as /spuːkt/, with the "oo" sound pronounced as "u", and the "k" sound heard at the end. "More spooked" means being more frightened or scared than before.
"More spooked" is a term used to describe an increased level of fear, unease, or anxiety in an individual or group due to a particular event, situation, or experience. It implies a heightened sense of apprehension and a greater susceptibility to being frightened or startled.
The term "spooked" is a colloquial expression derived from the verb "to spook," which means to startle, frighten, or unsettle someone or something. When someone is "spooked," they experience a sudden and intense feeling of fear or unease, often accompanied by physical reactions such as an increased heart rate, sweating, or a tendency to react impulsively.
By adding the comparative "more" to the term, it suggests that the individual or group affected is experiencing a stronger or more significant level of fright or unease compared to a previous state. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as a sudden loud noise, a close encounter with a perceived threat, or exposure to a disturbing or unsettling situation.
The use of "more spooked" emphasizes the notion that the level of fear or anxiety has intensified beyond a standard or usual threshold. It connotes a state of heightened vulnerability and heightened readiness to react to potential danger, reflecting a deeper emotional impact than simply being mildly or momentarily startled.
