Pronunciation & Spelling
The first syllable of 'bypass' sounds like 'by', 'bye', or 'buy' /baɪ/. The second syllable sounds like 'pass' /pɑːs/ (BrE), so 'pass', 'class', and 'grass' share its /ɑːs/ ending, but 'bypass' is stressed on the first syllable. Don't be misled by the spelling — say /ˈbaɪpɑːs/, not /baɪˈpæs/.
