记住 round（圆）+ ly：圆没有死角，一圈包到底，所以 roundly 表示“全面地、彻底地”；圆润直说也引申为“直率地”。
语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、news reports、public statements 该词通常用于正式或书面语境，多表示“直率地、严厉地、全面地”等抽象含义；口语中较少出现，具体意义需结合上下文判断。
与 roundly 真正押韵的词有 soundly 和 profoundly，它们都含 /aʊndli/ 的声音。roundly 中的字母组合 'ound' 读 /aʊnd/，不是 /uːnd/。注意拼写相近的 blindly（以 -ndly 结尾）读 /ˈblaɪndli/，元音不同；round、around、ground 虽有 /aʊnd/，但没有后面的 /li/，只能算部分相似，不押韵。
