quaerunt
Pronouncedquaerunt
/kwɛˈrʊnt/
This is a Latin word meaning 'they seek' or 'they look for.' It is not used in modern English except when studying Latin language and Roman history.
Irregular
This is a Latin word, not a standard English word. English phonics rules do not apply. The 'qu' makes a /kw/ sound, 'ae' makes an /ɛ/ sound (Latin diphthong), and the ending follows Latin conjugation patterns rather than English phonetics.
