blessed
/ˈblɛsɪd/
When used as an adjective, the word can be pronounced in two ways. In common speech, it is often one syllable ('blest'). However, in religious contexts or poetry, it is often pronounced with two syllables ('bles-sed'). In some informal contexts, people use 'blessed' sarcastically to describe something annoying (e.g., 'this blessed noise'), though this is less common than the positive meanings.
