发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Coral, cordon, and corridor match the initial /kɔr/ of cortisol; parasol matches the final /sɔl/. None truly rhymes with cortisol because its primary stress is on the first syllable, so a rhyme would need the /ɔrtɪsɔl/ ending. Solvent and solo are spelling lookalikes that sound different (/ˈsɑlvənt/ and /ˈsoʊloʊ/).
