Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：医疗/骨科、体育/运动损伤、正式文章/抽象讨论 该词不同义项语域略有不同：医学上指脱位/脱臼时较常用，语域中性；抽象义（如使混乱）比较常见于正式书面语。实际使用时视具体语境而定。
Pronunciation & Spelling
The -cate verbs above share the same final sound /keɪt/ as dislocate, even though the stress falls on different syllables (e.g., locate has stronger stress on the final syllable, while dislocate keeps primary stress on the first syllable). Be careful with delicate /ˈdelɪkət/: it ends in the same letters -cate but is pronounced with /kət/, so it does not match the /keɪt/ pattern.
