Pronunciation: [lˈɛt kɹˈɒs] (IPA) 
The spelling of "let cross" could be confusing because the letter "t" is silent. The correct pronunciation is /lɛ krɒs/. The "t" is there to indicate that the preceding vowel should be pronounced short, as in "let" and not as in "leet." The word "cross" is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable /krɒs/. So, if you see this combination of letters together in a word, remember that the "t" is silent.
The term "let cross" does not have a specific etymology, as it is not a commonly used or recognized phrase. However, we can break it down and analyze the origins of its components:
1. "Let" - This word comes from Old English "lǣtan", which means to allow or permit. It has roots in Proto-Germanic "lētaną" and can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "le-d-", meaning to delay or leave behind.
2. "Cross" - This word comes from Old English "cros", which is derived from the Latin "crux". The Latin word originally meant a cross or stake, typically used for execution. It is believed to have Indo-European roots and connections to the Sanskrit word "krúśa", which means rough or uneven.
