Robbery 拆分记忆：rob（抢夺）+ -ery（名词后缀）= 抢劫（案）。
通常用于法律、新闻或历史语境，表示通过暴力威胁的盗窃或战时劫掠。
Words ending with -ery share the same suffix pronounced /ər.i/ but their stressed vowels differ. Robbery and mockery rhyme (e.g., /ˈrɒk.ər.i/ and /ˈmɒk.ər.i/ with the same stressed vowel), while bribery, thievery, trickery, and surgery have distinct stressed vowels. Beware of lookalikes like 'battery' or 'celery' which are pronounced differently.
