Is the word From stressed or unstressed?

The word "from" is unstressed in most cases.

Here's why:

* It's a preposition: Prepositions are generally unstressed words.

* It's usually used in phrases: For example, "from the store," "from my friend," "from home." In these phrases, the stress falls on the following noun or pronoun.

* Emphasis: You can stress "from" if you want to emphasize it for special effect, but this is uncommon.

Example:

* "I came from the store." (Unstressed)

* "It was from me, not her." (Stressed, for emphasis)
