How do you pronounce "executor"? #8

What the title says. Just curious where the emphasis is. Is it like the job, exECutor, or like the verb EXecutor, or exeCUtor, or what?

If I were spelling it out, it'd be kind of like: egg zeck you tor with equally stressed syllables and not quite "egg" in the beginning. The US pronunciation on the Cambridge Dictionary site is close. I've recorded a voice memo of me saying it, but transferring it off my phone is a PITA and I'm in the middle of something now, so I'll try to get that cropped and uploaded later.

I'd say, /ex/ecu/tor/, as in one who executes things. I remember trying Executor, and it not being able to handle Resedit, lol.

Thank you!
