onvelope
the correct way to pr-nounce the word “envelope”.
the word envelope was borrowed into english from french during the early 18th century, and the first syllable acquired the pr-nunciation (ŏn) as an approximation to the nasalized french pr-nunciation.
other similar words include envoy, encore, ensemble, entree, entourage, and entrepreneur.
“that idiot just corrected me on my (correct) pr-nunciation of the word envelope (onvelope) – what a goose!”

get it right. it’s pr-nounced ”en-vuh-lope”.
