Nunci,nunc & nounc are the root-words for many other words.

nunci, nunc & nounc

These ROOT-WORDS are NUNCI, NUNC & NOUNC which come from the Latin verb muntiare which means to SPEAK & to DECLARE & WARN. This Latin root gives us a clue to the Italian pronunciation. In Italian the ci is pronounced like ch in English - nunchio. In English the ci is usually pronounced like si, although in the word delivious we say delishus. So it is sometimes difficult to know how to pronounce a ci word without the help of a dictionary.
