Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：business communication、official procedures、logistics and administration expedite 是较正式的动词，多用于商务邮件、行政流程或物流等书面语境，表示“加快、迅速办理”。日常口语中不太常见，通常会用 speed up 或 hurry up 等更口语化的说法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都拼写为 -ite。appetite、parasite、satellite 和 ignite 的结尾都读 /aɪt/，但它们与 expedite（/ˈɛkspɪdaɪt/）的重音位置不同，并不算完美押韵。注意 opposite 和 favorite 的 -ite 读 /ɪt/，不是 /aɪt/，是容易看错发音的拼写近似词。
