语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：historical or ecclesiastical texts、formal or literary prose 该词有两个主要含义：一是历史上宗教裁判所的官员，二是在正式或文学语境中指提问苛刻的人。两种用法都偏正式，多出现在书面语中，日常口语中不常见。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
真正与 inquisitor 押韵的是 visitor（重读元音及之后均为 /ɪzɪtə/）。depositor 只共享非重读词尾 /zɪtə/，重读元音不同（/ɒ/），不算押韵。solicitor、editor、monitor、auditor 拼写以 -itor 结尾，但分别读作 /sɪtə/ 或 /ɪtə/，与 /zɪtə/ 不同，是易混淆的形近词。
