Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：户外运动、水上休闲、旅游 在现代英语中，kayak 通常作为中性名词使用，多用于户外运动、水上休闲和旅游等场合；词典释义提到的“爱斯基摩人划子”带有历史色彩，日常使用中一般不会特别强调这一来源。
Pronunciation & Spelling
back, lack, pack, hack, crack match the final /æk/ of kayak /ˈkaɪæk/, but kayak is stressed on the first syllable, so these are near-rhymes. yak is a spelling lookalike: the letters y-a-k appear in kayak, yet yak is pronounced /jæk/, not /ˈkaɪæk/.
