语法说明Grammar Note
catholicisms
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the spelling ending "-cism". Most are pronounced with the final suffix /sɪzəm/: criticism, skepticism, mysticism, cynicism, agnosticism. Fascism is a spelling lookalike — its "c" sounds like /ʃ/, so it ends with /ʃɪzəm/. None of these rhymes with catholicism because the primary stress falls on different syllables; they only match in the unstressed suffix.
