How Do You Spell TENIFUGE?
Pronunciation: [tˈɛnɪfjˌuːd͡ʒ] (IPA)

The pronunciation is /ˈtɛnɪfjuːdʒ/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "fuge" ending is also used in words like "insectifuge" which means insect repellent. Therefore, the spelling of "tenifuge" is logical once you understand its etymology and the use of the "fuge" ending.
