看到 deathly 先想到 death（死），联想一张惨白如死人的脸：像死了一样就是“死一般的”，程度重到可怕就是“致命的、极度的”。
语域：mixed 常见场景：descriptive prose、everyday speech、formal writing 该词的语域会随搭配和语境变化：表示“死一般的”或“极度的”时较常见于书面描写和日常表达；表示“致命的”时多出现在正式或文学语境。因此整体标记为混合语域，建议结合具体搭配判断。
No listed word rhymes exactly with deathly /ˈdeθli/. Monthly and earthly share the -thly spelling and the /θl/ sound but have different vowels. Deadly looks similar but is pronounced /ˈdedli/ with /d/, not /θ/. Healthy, stealthy, and wealthy end in /lθi/, so their final sound is not the same as deathly's /θli/.
