How is the expression ‘en bloc’ pronounced?
(E.R. Samuel, Tuticorin)
There are several ways of pronouncing this expression of French origin. One simple way is to pronounce the first word like the word ‘on’, and the second, like the word ‘block’. The expression is pronounced ‘on BLOCK’ with the stress on the second word. It means ‘all together’, ‘as a single unit’.
