Memory Tip
purge 里有 urge（冲动）：一有冲动就想把多余、碍事的东西清除掉，所以 purge 是清洗、整肃、清肠。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：politics、news reports、historical accounts 本条目选取“强力清除/肃清人员”这一义项。该说法多用于正式语境，常出现在政治、组织或历史叙述中；日常口语较少把 purge 当名词用。
Grammar Note
可数名词，常与of或from连用
Pronunciation & Spelling
urge、surge 与 purge 都含有 -urge；merge、verge、emerge 拼作 -erge，scourge 拼作 -ourge，但都以 /ɜːdʒ/（美式英语中为 /ɜːrdʒ/）结尾，与 purge 押韵。注意 purple /ˈpɜːpəl/、purse /pɜːs/、pulse /pʌls/、plunge /plʌndʒ/ 拼写或发音看似相近，但元音或韵尾不同，并不押韵。
