Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：formal/literary writing、public transport announcements、architecture/archaeology texts 该词在不同义项中语域有差异：表示抽象的终点或目标时通常偏正式，多用于书面语；表示交通终点站时是公共交通领域的规范用语；建筑学中的“方柱顶雕像/界标”是专业术语。整体上不属于日常口语的核心词。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Only verminous truly rhymes with terminus (/ˈtɜːmɪnəs/). Ominous and luminous share the written suffix -minous and its sound /mɪnəs/, but they have a different stressed vowel and do not rhyme. Minus, Venus, and bonus end in -nus /nəs/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not rhymes either.
