cyst

/sɪst/

nouncyst

Think: “It’s a SACK (cyst) with a silent C”—you say “sist,” but you still write the C at the start.

Yes, it's cyst. The tricky part is the silent **c**: it’s spelled **cyst** but pronounced **/sɪst/**.

Definition

  • “The doctor explained that the lump was a small cyst filled with fluid.”
