there's no way to tell it verbally.

I just told it to someone verbally by spelling out the word rather than pronouncing it.

I tried to tell it non-verbally and my wife pronounced it “what the fuck are you doing?”

Don't leave us in suspense. Is your wife a plumber or a chemist?

Just use a hyphen and then give up if they don't know what ionized means.
