In this word of our own composition from nice, we have unaccountably run into the pronunciation of the mute e. This word we always hear pronounced in three syllables, though safety, ninety, and surety, are ever heard in two. This is a proof how much mere similitude of sound often operates in fixing pronunciation: the termination ty, being almost always preceded by e or i in words of Latin or French formation, where these vowels form a distinct syllable, as variety, gaiety, anxiety, society, &c. Words of mere English formation that approach to them are thus carried into the same pronunciation by bare likeness of sound only. NICHE, nitsh. s. 352. A hollow in which a statue may be placed.
