发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words show the written patterns -itor or herit-. None rhymes with inheritor (/ɪnˈherɪtə(r)/), whose stressed syllable is -her-: /her/. Editor, visitor, monitor and solicitor share the unstressed suffix /ɪtə(r)/ but have different stressed vowels, so they are not rhymes. Inhibitor looks like inheritor but has /hɪb/ in the stressed syllable instead of /her/, so it sounds different. Heritage shares the initial spelling herit- and the sound /herɪ/, but ends in /tɪdʒ/, not /tə(r)/.
