语域：mixed 常见场景：法律/正式书面语、日常非正式口语 该词在不同语境中语体不同：正式或法律场合多指“下流地、猥亵地、不体面地”；非正式口语中可指“不适当地、不合适地”。使用时宜根据语境区分。
真正押韵的是 decently 和 recently，它们与 indecently 从重读元音 /iː/ 到词尾都是 /iːsəntli/。拼写相似的 innocently、frequently、silently、magnificently 发音并不同：innocently 的重读元音是 /ɪ/，frequently 后面的 /kw/ 与 /s/ 不同，silently 是 /aɪ/，magnificently 的重音和元音均不同，因此都不押韵。
