How Do You Spell IN STATED?

Pronunciation: [ɪn stˈe͡ɪtɪd] (IPA)

The correct spelling of the phrase "in stated" is "instated". The word is pronounced /ɪnˈsteɪtɪd/ and means to establish or set up in a position of power or authority. The prefix "in-" means "into" or "within", while the root word "stated" comes from the verb "state", meaning to declare or specify. When the prefix is added to the root, it changes to "in" to form "instated", which is a commonly misspelled word due to the similarity with "in stated".
