联想：court（宫廷）+ship（船）→ 乘船去宫廷朝见，即courtship（觐见）。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：古典文学、历史语境 此义项为古旧用法，多用于历史或文学语境，指朝见君主或宫廷礼仪；现代英语中更常见的含义是“求爱、恋爱期”。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The -ship words here look like 'courtship' and share the spelling suffix '-ship', but their ending is pronounced /ʃɪp/ in those words. 'Courtship' has an extra 't' before 'sh', so the ending is /tʃɪp/, matching 'chip'. Thus these -ship words are lookalikes, not true rhymes.
