Memory Tip
把 hyster 听成 hiss-ter（嘶嘶声+ter），-ectomy 是‘切除术’；想象手术切除子宫时器械‘嘶’的一声。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：医疗记录、医患对话、医学文献 hysterectomy 是医学专业术语，通常用于正式或临床语境，多出现在医疗记录、医患对话或医学文献中。日常口语中较少使用，比较常见于正式场合。
Pronunciation & Spelling
押韵词：appendectomy、tonsillectomy、vasectomy、mastectomy。它们都以 -ectomy 结尾，重读元音 /e/ 及之后的 /ktəmi/ 与 hysterectomy 的一致，因此押韵。注意 hysteria /hɪˈstɪr.i.ə/ 和 hysterical /hɪˈster.ɪ.kəl/ 虽以 hyster- 开头，但重音、元音和词尾都不同，是容易看错音的迷惑词。
