联想记忆：arch 像“首要/原始”，type 是“类型/模型”，合起来就是“原始模型、原型”。
语域：formal 常见场景：文学评论、荣格心理学、学术写作 “archetype”多用于正式或学术语境（如文学、心理学或哲学讨论），在日常口语中较少出现，通常可用“典型”或“原型”等更直白的表达。
All six words rhyme with the final /taɪp/ of archetype: type, pipe, ripe, and wipe are one-syllable perfect rhymes; prototype and stereotype share the same stressed final syllable /taɪp/ (with secondary stress). Beware lookalikes that sound different: 'atypical' (/eɪˈtɪpɪkəl/) and 'archetypal' (/ˌɑrkɪˈtaɪpəl/) contain 'typ' but do not rhyme with archetype.
