Scintilla means `an extremely small amount’.
The first syllable `scin’ is pronounced like the word `sin’, and the second is pronounced like the word `till’. The final `a’ is like the `a’ in `china’, and the main stress is on the second syllable.
Example: “I wouldn’t worry if I were you. There isn’t a scintilla of truth in what he is saying”.
