How is the word ‘spaghetti’ pronounced?

The ‘a’ in the first syllable is like the ‘a’ in ‘china’, and the following ‘ghett’ is pronounced like the word ‘get’. The final ‘i’ is like the ‘i’ in ‘it’, ‘bit’, and ‘kit’, and the stress is on the second syllable. The word is pronounced ‘spe-GET-i’. It comes from the Italian ‘spago’ meaning ‘thin string’ or ‘twine’. I guess eating twine or little strings is better than eating ‘little worms’: which is what vermicelli means!
