Although the spelling and the pronunciation vary, these three words are all related.
- The root word is the verb 'to appear'. This has a 'long' '-EE-' sound for the second vowel, which is the one stressed: 'er-PEER'. (It does NOT rhyme with pear.) This is an intransitive verb: something may appear, but no-one can
appear something.
