发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the -ciously ending. Graciously, audaciously, sagaciously, vivaciously, and fallaciously rhyme with tenaciously (/təˈneɪʃəsli/): each has the stressed /eɪ/ vowel directly before /ʃəsli/. Maliciously also ends in -ciously but has a different stressed vowel (/ɪ/), so it looks similar but does not rhyme.
