/ˌruːməˌtɔɪd ɑːrˈθraɪtɪs/
noun
Rheumatoid arthritis is a six-syllable medical noun phrase of Greek origin. 'Rheumatoid' (rheu-ma-toid) derives from 'rheuma' (flow) + '-oid' (resembling), with secondary stress on syllables 1 and 3. 'Arthritis' (ar-thri-tis) derives from 'arthron' (joint) + '-itis' (inflammation), with primary stress on '-thri-'. The 'th' and 'rh' digraphs remain intact, and the onset cluster 'thr' attaches to the stressed syllable following the Maximal Onset Principle.
