发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end with the suffix '-ize' and share the final /saɪz/ sound. However, their stressed vowels differ from 'criticize' (which has /ɪ/ in first syllable). Only words with the same '-icize' suffix (like these) have the identical /ɪsaɪz/ ending, but the stress pattern may vary. Note that 'exercise' (/ˈɛksəsaɪz/) is a common lookalike with similar spelling but different pronunciation ('-cise' vs '-cize').
