Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：金融与法律语境、信用报告及债务催收文书 此处指债务到期未还的正式用语，多用于金融、法律文书和信用报告中；日常口语中通常不这样用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
delinquency 的重音在第二个音节 /ˈlɪŋ/，末尾读 /kwənsi/。真正全韵（重读元音及之后相同）的词很少；但 frequency 与其同属 -quency 拼写，末尾也读 /kwənsi/，不过重音在首音节，故不算全韵。agency、tendency、urgency、currency、emergency 都以 -ency 结尾，末尾读 /ənsi/，缺少前面的 /kw/，也不是全韵。注意拼写中的 -quency 容易让人按拼写误读，请以 IPA 为准。
