Memory Tip
sacrament 开头 sacra 让人想到 sacred（神圣），-ment 是名词后缀；神圣的仪式就是“圣礼”。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：宗教仪式、教会文书、神学讨论、旧式宣誓场景 该词的名词义项“圣礼/圣事”是宗教正式用语，通常出现在礼拜仪式、教会文献或神学讨论中；动词义项“使立誓/使宣誓”较少见，多用于古旧或庄重的文体。整体以正式语体为主。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in the spelling -ment and the unstressed sound /mənt/, but their stressed vowels and syllables differ from sacrament's /ˈsækrəmənt/, so none of them rhymes with it. The exact spelling lookalike lament is pronounced /ləˈment/ with the final syllable stressed, and parliament has a silent i (/ˈpɑːrləmənt/).
