A friend awhile ago told me that "Ter-ar-ia" was the correct way so I've pronounced it this way since then.
 
/təɹaɹiə/. I've heard /təɹeɪɹiə/ but it just sounds wrong to the Latin scholar in me. The word comes from Latin, and in Latin "a" always sounds like /a/ when stressed, not /eɪ/.

P.S. for anyone who doesn't know IPA, /a/ sounds like the vowel in "top", and /eɪ/ sounds like the vowel in "slay".
 
Or,
T as in tadpole
E as in ear
R as in Arrrr
R as in Arrrr
A as in anvil
R as in rabbit
I as in India
A as in Arrow
So it's pronounced TadpoleEarArrrrArrrrAnvilRabbitIndiaArrow? Seems legit. I pronounce it Te-rah-ria
