affricate consonant
An affricate consonant is a type of complex consonant sound that begins like a stop (a sound that completely obstructs the air flow) and ends like a fricative (a sound that partially obstructs the air flow). It consists of a plosive (complete blockage followed by sudden release of air) followed immediately by a fricative. Examples of affricate consonants in English include the "ch" sound in "chair" and the "j" sound in "jam".
