Memory Tip
把 lineage 想成一条“线”（line）跨越“年代”（age），从祖先一路连到后代，就是血统世系。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：genealogy、historical narratives、biology 此条目针对“血统、世系”这一含义。该词多用于正式或书面语境，常见于家谱、历史、生物学等场合；日常口语中较少单独使用，可用 family line 或 ancestry 代替。
Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes with lineage /ˈlɪniədʒ/. Lineage has a distinct /iə/ before /dʒ/, while these -age words generally use /ɪdʒ/ (image, village, manage, message, storage) or /wɪdʒ/ (language), so they are spelling lookalikes that sound different.
