语域：neutral 常见场景：personal relationships、family ties、emotional conversations 表示“亲密、亲近感”时，closeness 通常为中性词，日常口语和书面语中都较常见，多用于谈论朋友、家人或伴侣之间的情感联系。
These words share the spelled ending -ness and the unstressed final syllable /nəs/ (or /nɪs/); they are suffix matches, not full rhymes, because closeness's stressed vowel /əu/ is not the stressed vowel of these words. Useful lookalikes that sound different: close the verb /kləuz/ (with /z/), clothes /kləuðz/, and closet /ˈklɔzɪt/.
