记 apprehend：'抓住'贯穿三个意思——抓住嫌犯（逮捕）、抓住意思（理解）、心里抓住不安（担忧）。
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、news reporting、literary prose apprehend 表示“忧虑、担心”时属于正式用语，通常用于书面语，多出现在新闻报道、文学作品或正式演讲中；在日常口语里较少使用，口语中更常说 fear 或 worry。
The stressed -hend in apprehend sounds like /hɛnd/. Comprehend shares the spelling chunk -prehend and also rhymes. Bend, append, friend, and spend rhyme with /hɛnd/ because their stressed vowel and following /nd/ match; note that friend has an 'ie' spelling but still rhymes. Apprentice is a useful lookalike: it starts with appr- but is pronounced /əˈprɛntɪs/, so it does not rhyme with apprehend.
