I've been chroot wrong for years. I learned recently that it's "shroot" not "C. H. root"

I've already said "ch root", with no gap between the sounds.
tshroot (or german tschrut), like shoot with leading t and an r inbetween
Does that imply "shmod" for chmod?
I've always been partial to "khroot"
I've always just said "change root"
I say “chuh root” like the ch in choo choo train.
