发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words murderer, wanderer, gatherer, and cleverer match caterer's unstressed ending /ərə/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they do not rhyme with it. Watch out for lookalikes like later, waiter, and cater: they end in /tə/ and have only two syllables, so they sound different.
