As an English speaker, I pronounce it the same way that m-w.com and dictionary.com pronounces it.

Yes this is what I learn today.
I probably pronounce Vi-Ce-Roy due to influence from "House Of The Dragon" Viserys "Vi-Se-Rys"

It's a slightly shortened form of "vice royal", so yes, it's vice as in "vice president" and roy as in the name Roy.

I never aware this word is English origin.
I see developer name thinking they are Latin, and maybe this is Latin word

The German pronunciation would be way different, since you were wondering. It's "Vizekönig" with four syllables

It is Latin at heart, because many English words (around half, depending on how you count) either have a French origin, which is a Romance language, or comes directly from Latin. Royal is from the French Roi which itself comes from the Latin Rex.

Can't wait until this will be the answer to literally everything.

"Hey, how was school?"

"Google will answer that for you."
I mean, typing in pronunciation is hardly the easiest thing, so telling someone to google it is perfectly warranted in this case IMO
