发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in -ingly (except sweetly, which is a lookalike), so they help with the spelling of fleetingly. The -ingly ending is pronounced /ɪŋli/ in each of them, but none rhymes exactly with fleetingly /ˈfliːtɪŋli/ because the stressed syllable or the consonant after it differs. Sweetly /ˈswiːtli/ looks and sounds similar at the start but lacks the /ŋ/ before -ly.
