Pronunciation & Spelling
Heroism is /ˈhɛroʊˌɪzəm/. The -ism words here (criticism, optimism, terrorism) share the unstressed ending /ɪzəm/, but none rhymes with heroism because their stressed vowel differs. Heroine shares the opening /ˈhɛroʊ/ with heroism. Hero and heroic look similar at the start but sound different: hero /ˈhɪroʊ/, heroic /hɪˈroʊɪk/.
