Context & Register

Grammar Note
通常作不可数名词；复数形式fatigues较少见，且常指军装或多种疲劳。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the spelling ending '-igue' but pronunciation differs: 'league' and 'colleague' use long /iː/, 'plague' and 'vague' use /eɪ/, and 'intrigue' uses /iː/. 'Fatigue' is pronounced with a short /i/ (as in 'big') per provided IPA, so none are perfect rhymes.
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 2，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
