Pronounced as (IPA)

/al.faˈbɛ.to/

Etymology

Borrowed from Late Latin alphabētum, from Ancient Greek ἀλφάβητος (alphábētos), from alpha and beta (the first two letters of the Greek alphabet), from Phoenician 𐤀 (ʾ /⁠aleph⁠/, “ox”) and 𐤁 (b /⁠beth⁠/, “house”), so called because they were pictograms of those objects.
