    Just like to point out that "kakos" technically rhymes with "loss"

    What does kakos mean, anyway?

    Because I like to think of it as the root word for 'kake' in 'bukkake.'

    It's Greek meaning "bad, evil, ugly." It's where we get the words "cacophony" and "cacodemon".

    Oh! That makes total sense! Okay!

    I still like my interpretation, though. :winky:

    it seems more apt somehow

    So if kakos technically rhymes with loss, does that mean that the popular pronunciation of "cacophony" is actually something of a bastardization?

    Not really. Different stress, but more or less right.

    Only if you know how rhymes work.

    Prem ee er doesn't rhyme with Speer. If you leave the emphasis on the first syllable you can sort of fudge it, though.
    I think most of us pronounce "premier" in two syllables.

    Oh, you know what? I misinterpreted "rhymes with loss" to mean "only has one syllable and that syllable rhymes with loss."

    z and s are different sounds, aren't they

    like the french poison and poisson

    z and s are different sounds in the abstract, but this is English. Sometimes s is pronounced z (as in inquisition, inquisitor, etc). Sometimes 'ough' is pronounced 'uff', sometimes 'oh'

    it's all random
