Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：transportation、road engineering、urban planning 这个词多用于交通、道路工程或城市规划等比较正式的场景，属于中性偏正式的书面词；日常口语中通常较少直接使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Flyover ends in -over /əʊvə(r)/ (AmE /oʊvər/). Over, clover, and moreover share this stressed /əʊvə(r)/ sound and rhyme with one another; in flyover the same ending is unstressed, so they are not perfect rhymes with it. Cover, hover, and lover are useful spelling lookalikes, but their vowel is /ʌ/ or /ɒ/, not /əʊ/.
