How do you spell Resuscitation?
Correct spelling
resuscitation
Remember: RE-SUS-CI-TA-TION. Think 'SUS' then 'CI' like 'see', not 'si'.
Why is resuscitation spelled this way?
From Latin resuscitare, to revive. RE (again) + SUSCITARE (to raise). Raising someone back to life. The 'sci' in the middle pronounced as 'si' misleads spellers.
