drizzle
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈdɹɪz.l/

Forms: form: drizzles

examples: text: April 19, 2013,Felicity Cloake, "How to Cook the Perfect Lemon Drizzle Cake" in The Guardian
Drizzle is not normally good news. Not when it's falling from the sky, not when it's replacing a decent helping of sauce, and especially not when it's found on a menu in close proximity to the words "balsamic vinegar". Deliciously sticky, sweet and sour lemon drizzle cake is the one, and very honourable, exception.
text: The rest of the day is spent trying to concentrate on ingredient labels, ordering supplies, baking some fairy cakes for a hen party and two lemon drizzles, one for a new baby and one for an old dear's birthday.

Forms: form: sergeants
form: serjant
form: sergeaunt
form: serjeant
Etymology: From Middle English sergeant, sergeaunt, serjent, serjaunt, serjawnt, sergant, from Old French sergeant, sergent, serjant, sergient, sergant (“sergeant, servant”), from Medieval Latin servientem, accusative of serviens (“a servant, vassal, soldier, apparitor”), from Latin serviēns (“serving”), present participle of serviō (“serve, be a slave to”).

The shift from /vj/ > /dʒ/ was a regular development in Old French. Compare cavea > cage, salvia > sage.

The pronunciation with /ɑɹ/ is due to a widespread development of Middle English er + consonant (see barn, start etc.).
