Memory Tip
sicken = sick + en，像看到恶心的东西一样反胃，既指使人生病，也指令人厌恶。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：medical/health contexts、formal or literary prose、expressions of disgust or revulsion sicken 的各个义项语域并不完全相同：表示“使生病”或“生病”时通常比 get sick 更正式；表示“使厌恶、使作呕”时也多用于书面或文学性表达。因此整体语域可视为混合，具体使用时需根据上下文判断。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 sicken 押韵（重读元音和后面的 /kən/ 相同）的有：chicken、thicken、quicken、stricken。注意：waken、shaken 虽以 -ken 结尾，但元音不同，不押韵。
