Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：knight（骑士）加上表示身份的后缀-hood，仿佛骑士戴上兜帽（hood）获得身份，knighthood即骑士身份。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：历史叙述、正式文献、文化评论 该释义多用于正式或历史语境，指骑士阶层这一群体；日常口语中较少这样使用。
Grammar Note
作“骑士身份/称号”解时可数，有复数形式 knighthoods；作“骑士品质”等抽象意义解时不可数。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都与 knighthood 一样以 -hood 结尾，后缀均读作 /hʊd/，但它们并不与 knighthood 完全押韵，因为重读元音和辅音不同。childhood /ˈtʃaɪldhʊd/ 与 knighthood 都含 /aɪ/，但后续辅音不同（/ld/ 对 /t/），不是完整押韵；其余词的重读元音分别是 /ɔɪ/、/æ/、/eɪ/、/aɪ/、/ʊ/，也各不相同。
