发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in the written suffix -acy and have an unstressed final /əsi/, but none rhymes with candidacy /ˈkændɪdəsi/. Candidacy stresses the first syllable and continues with /ndɪdəsi/, while accuracy /ˈækjərəsi/ has /kjərəsi/ and privacy /ˈpraɪvəsi/ has /vəsi/. They are spelling lookalikes rather than true sound matches.
