语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：动物科普、故事/童话、日常对话 lioness 是 lion 的雌性对应词，属于标准通用词，通常用于动物描述、科普或故事中，日常口语也比较自然；在需要强调性别时会比泛指 lion 更明确。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'lion' matches the opening sound of 'lioness' (/ˈlaɪənis/). The other words share the ending spelling '-ess' but not the rhyme: 'princess' is stressed on the last syllable (/ˌprɪnˈses/); 'tigress', 'actress' and 'hostess' end in a weak /əs/; 'highness' (/ˈhaɪnəs/) reverses the syllable order, so it only looks like a rhyme.
