To pronounce most words, simply sound them out. The "pe" is pronounced like a "pea" in pea soup, followed by "jor" pronounced like your with a "j", then add "a" "tive." In the end, you will get "pea-jor-a-tive." It is a word or phrase with a negative connotation, like the commonly mis-defined word "molest." Molest simply means to bother. It does not mean to rape.
