Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想“非题设”：对正常事物产生异常执着，像护身符一样离不开；或记成“肥蹄”一词，怪癖如对鞋、脚等特别着迷。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：人类学/宗教研究、心理学/性学讨论、日常口语/媒体 该词在不同含义下语域有差异：表示“物神、护身符”时多用于人类学或宗教研究；表示“性恋物”时常见于心理学或性学语境；表示“执念、迷恋”时比较常见于日常口语或媒体，常带贬义或调侃语气。具体使用需结合搭配和话题，整体不宜一概而论。
Grammar Note
常与介词for连用，表示对某物的迷恋。
Pronunciation & Spelling
With the dictionary pronunciation /ˈfiːtɪʃ/, only sweetish /ˈswiːtɪʃ/ truly rhymes (stressed /iː/ + /tɪʃ/). The other -tish words (loutish, brutish, whitish) share the final consonant sequence /tɪʃ/ but have a different stressed vowel, so they are spelling/suffix lookalikes rather than rhymes. Fetid /ˈfiːtɪd/ looks similar but ends in /d/ instead of /ʃ/, and fish /fɪʃ/ has a shorter vowel and no /t/.
