Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：royal family announcements、historical writing、official documents 作“君主配偶”解时，consort 通常用于正式或书面语境，多出现在王室新闻、历史叙述或官方文件中；日常口语中较少使用，更自然的说法是 spouse 或 husband/wife。
Grammar Note

Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes exactly with the noun consort /ˈkɒnsɒ:t/, because its primary stress is on the first syllable. Sort and resort share the /sɔːt/ ending but put stress on that final syllable, so they only rhyme if the target is read as the verb. Escort has /skɔːt/ but stress on the first syllable; concert is a lookalike pronounced /ˈkɒnsət/, not /ˈkɒnsɒ:t/; contour starts with /ˈkɒn/ but ends in /tʊə/.
