Is one of those words I have almost never heard pronounced. And on the rare occaisions I have, it is by people who are similarly unsure of the correct pronunciation.

But you probably have heard similar words, such as nootropics. That word gets pronounced "new-o-tropics."

Classic Greek "long o" is literally a long o. The sound is drawn out at length.

So it seems likely to me this is pronounced similar to nootropics.

My personal guess, but not an informed one, was to just rhyme it with 'moo'.
