发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Terribly, possibly, incredibly, and visibly share the suffix spelling '-ibly' and the unstressed ending /əbli/ with horribly, but their stressed vowels differ, so they do not rhyme. Horrible (/ˈhɒrəbəl/) and adorable (/əˈdɔːrəbəl/) look similar but end in /əbəl/ instead of /əbli/.
