记忆联想：mystify 像 mystery(谜) + -ify(使…)，把事搞成谜，人就彻底困惑。
语域：neutral 常见场景：reading mysteries or puzzles、discussing abstract theories、describing a baffling experience mystify 意为“使完全困惑”，语域上属中性，日常口语与书面语中都可用；通常强调某事物或说法让人完全摸不着头脑，多用于描述谜题、现象或抽象概念令人费解。
这些 -ify 词（classify, justify, modify, testify, fortify）都与 mystify /ˈmɪstɪfaɪ/ 押韵，因为末音节都读 /faɪ/；注意 mystic /ˈmɪstɪk/ 虽然拼写以 myst 开头，但结尾读 /ɪk/，并不押韵。
