What does second syllable stressed mean?

"Second syllable stressed" means that the second syllable of a word is pronounced louder and with more emphasis than the other syllables.

Here's a breakdown:

* Syllable: A unit of pronunciation consisting of a single vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants.

* Stress: The emphasis placed on a particular syllable in a word.

For example, in the word "a-bove," the second syllable "bove" is stressed, while the first syllable "a" is unstressed.

Here are some other words with second syllable stress:

* be-tween

* re-cord

* con-tent

* a-gree

It's important to note that not all words follow the same stress patterns. The stress pattern of a word can be determined by its etymology (origin), its part of speech, and other factors. There are dictionaries and online resources that provide information about the stress patterns of individual words.
