记忆联想：形容词 monstrous（可怕的）变名词 monstrosity，类似 curious→curiosity，指畸形可怕之物。
语域：mixed 常见场景：literary or formal description、everyday talk about an ugly object or building 该词既见于正式书面语，也较常见于口语中抱怨某物丑陋（如一座难看的建筑），所以语域偏混合。正式场合多用于描述可怕或怪异的生物、事物或行为。
curiosity、generosity、ferocity、velocity、atrocity 都以重读的 /ˈɑːsəti/ 结尾，与 monstrosity 押韵。注意 diversity 拼写中的 -sity 看起来相似，但重读元音是 /ɜːr/，所以不押韵。
