Memory Tip
由 cold（冷）加名词后缀 -ness 构成，像“冷 + 状态”，记住“冷”就记住了 coldness 的“寒冷/冷淡”。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常谈论天气温度、描述身体感觉、形容人际态度冷淡、物理学温度定义 这个词通常用于日常和一般书面语境，语气中性；物理学中的专业用法比较少见。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正与 coldness 押韵的有 boldness 和 oldness（重读元音及后面的 /ldnəs/ 相同）。coldly 虽以 cold 开头，但结尾不是 -ness，不押韵。sadness、blindness、wildness 拼写也以 -dness 结尾，但重读元音分别是 /æ/、/aɪ/、/aɪ/，读音不同。
