Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：publishing、film/theater、social identity pseudonym 属中性词，正式与日常场合均可用，多用于谈论作家笔名、演员艺名或某人从事特定社会角色时使用的化名。日常口语中也可能用 pen name、stage name 等更具体的说法。
Grammar Note
可数名词，复数形式为 pseudonyms。
Pronunciation & Spelling
The -onym words synonym, antonym, homonym, and acronym rhyme with pseudonym's final secondary-stressed syllable /ˌnɪm/ and share its -onym spelling. Beware of anonymous, which contains -onym- but has primary stress on the second syllable and is pronounced /əˈnɑːnəməs/, so it does not rhyme.
