Why is the word ‘quixotic’ pronounced like it is? It should be ‘key-otic’ surely?
No idea but I give you "Southwark" and a million other examples closer to home :)
It’s more that the word comes from the dudes name, but is pronounced differently to how his name is pronounced. Always seemed odd to me.
