How Do You Spell SCOPATE?
Pronunciation: [skˈɒpe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
The word "scopate" (ˈskoʊpeɪt) is a verb that comes from the Latin verb scopare, meaning "to sweep or to clean." The English spelling of the word can be a bit confusing as it is not commonly used and is often misspelled as "scopeate" or "scooped." However, the correct spelling remains "scopate." The word is used mainly in zoology to describe the movement of certain insects or animals, such as the rapid backward-and-forward movement of the antennae of male moths during mating.
