Adduction

The word ‘Adduction’, pronounced /əˈdʌkʃᵊn/, is stressed on the second syllable, making it sound like uh-DUCK-shun. Commonly used in anatomy, it describes the movement of a body part toward the body’s midline, such as drawing your arms inward. The pronunciation is similar in both American and British English, with only slight differences in vowel sounds. To get it right, break it into three parts: the neutral opening (/ə/), the stressed middle (/ˈdʌk/), and the soft ending (/ʃᵊn/). Listening to native speakers and practicing syllable by syllable can help you pronounce it confidently.
