Memory Tip
calm（平静）+ ness（名词后缀），记住 calm 像无风的湖面，calmness 就是那份宁静的状态。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：描述心态或情绪、描写天气或环境、书面表达 calmness 是名词，通常用于中性或偏正式的语境，多指情绪稳定、内心平静或环境宁静；在日常口语中更常用 calm。
Pronunciation & Spelling
calmness 读 /ˈkɑːmnəs/，其中 l 不发音，后缀 -ness 读 /nəs/。calm、balm、palm、psalm 都含 /ɑːm/ 音且 l 不发音，可用来对照拼读，但它们整体并不与 calmness 完全押韵。darkness、quietness 虽然也以字母组合 -ness 结尾，但发音与 calmness 差别很大，不要按拼写类推。
