Like the first “o” in opossum, which is pronounced “Possum”.

That ‘o’ is silent...like the ‘p’ in ‘bed.’

Like the first “o” in opossum, which is pronounced “Possum”. That is the popular version but the correct pronunciation is apossum. Where the "a" sounds like "uh".
Not to be confused with the Australian possum which is pronounced possum.
