Memory Tip
联想记忆：dead（死/静止）+ bolt（门闩），想象锁舌像死了一样卡住不动，必须用钥匙才能拨动它，这就是门锁的锁舌。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：home security、locksmithing、door hardware deadbolt 表示门锁的锁舌（尤指用钥匙转动的部分），通常是中性词，多用于家居安防、门锁安装或五金相关语境；正式和日常非正式场合都可以使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
The first syllable of deadbolt /ˈdɛd.boʊlt/ rhymes with dead, head, and said (/dɛd/, /hɛd/, /sɛd/). The final syllable matches bolt, colt, and dolt (/boʊlt/, /koʊlt/, /doʊlt/), but because stress falls on the first syllable, those are not whole-word rhymes. Beware lookalikes: bold /boʊld/ ends with /d/ instead of /t/, and deed /diːd/ has a different vowel.
