发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Acronym ends in the suffix -onym, and synonym, antonym, homonym, and pseudonym share the final unstressed syllable /ənɪm/, but none is a true rhyme with /ˈækrənɪm/ because their stressed vowels or middle consonants differ. Anonymous /əˈnɒnɪməs/ looks similar but has an extra syllable and different stress. Acrobat /ˈækrəbæt/ shares the initial /ˈækrə/ sound and the spelling acro-, but the ending is different.
