发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes with pecuniary /pɪˈkjuːnjəri/. The closest lookalike peculiar /pɪˈkjuːliər/ shares the beginning pecu- but ends in /liər/, not /njəri/. The -ary words (salary, ordinary, culinary, monetary, subsidiary) share the spelling suffix but stress different syllables, so they are not rhymes.
