发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes exactly with /ˈdɛtrəmənt/ because the stressed vowel and following sounds are /ɛtrəmənt/. The words element, complement, ornament, document, and parliament share only the unstressed suffix /mənt/, so they do not rhyme. Beware the lookalike detritus /dɪˈtraɪtəs/, which sounds very different.
