Memory Tip

Context & Register
Respondent 作名词时，指在问卷调查或法律诉讼中的应答者或被告，多见于正式场合；作形容词时意为“回答的、应答的”，多用于书面或法律语境，如 respondent behavior。
Pronunciation & Spelling
True rhymes (matching stressed vowel and ending): 'correspondent' and 'despondent' (both have stressed /ɒ/ in -spon-). Lookalikes: 'president', 'resident', 'confident', 'incident' share the -dent ending but have different stressed vowels (/ɛ/, /ɛ/, /ɒ/, /ɪ/ respectively), so they do not rhyme with 'respondent'.
