Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆：'eco' 像 'echo'（回声），万物回声关联，即生态学。
Context & Register
register: mixed; contexts: 学术/环保; note_zh: 通常用于学术或环保讨论，既正式又日常。
Grammar Note
作“生态学”讲时通常不可数；指具体生态系统时可加复数，如 ecologies。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end with -logy and rhyme with ecology (stressed vowel /ɑ/ and ending /lədʒi/). However, 'analogy' (/əˈnælədʒi/) shares the -logy spelling but has a different stressed vowel /æ/, so it does not rhyme.
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 1，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
