indulgence 是 indulge（放纵）加上名词后缀 -nce；想象自己沉溺于甜点、满足欲望，就是一次 indulgence。
语域：neutral 常见场景：everyday conversation、lifestyle blog posts、personal journal 这里分析的是“乐事、嗜好”这一义项（指某人沉溺其中的事物）。此用法通常语气中性，日常谈话和生活类文章中都比较自然；多用于描述自己喜欢的小享受，而不带有强烈的正式或随意色彩。
本组没有真正的同韵词。indulge 和 indulgent 只是共享 indulg- 的开头拼写与发音，结尾不同；diligence、negligence、emergence、convergence 虽都以 -gence 拼写结尾，但重读音节元音不同，均不与 indulgence 押韵。
