/hoʊlˈhɑːrtɪdnəs/
noun
The word 'wholeheartedness' is divided into four syllables: whole-heart-ed-ness. Stress falls on 'heart'. It's morphologically complex, built from the prefix 'whole-', root 'heart', and suffixes '-ed' and '-ness'. Syllable division follows rules maximizing onsets and avoiding stranded consonants, with potential for vowel reduction in unstressed syllables.
