How Do You Spell SEXTATE?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛkste͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Sextate is a relatively unknown word that refers to a floral structure consisting of six carpels. The spelling of the word is straightforward when using IPA phonetic transcription - the first syllable sounds like "seks" with a soft e, followed by the "tate" sound which is pronounced like "tayt." The stress falls on the first syllable, as with many words beginning with "sex." Although not commonly used in everyday language, sextate is a technical term in botany used to describe certain types of flower structures.
