Memory Tip
把tip（尖端）和toe（脚趾）拼在一起：只用脚趾尖走路，就是tiptoe踮脚走。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：日常叙述、医学/解剖文本、文学描写 tiptoe 作名词（脚尖）时，用法因搭配和语境而不同：在 on tiptoe(s) 这类固定短语中多呈中性、日常语体；单独作名词指“脚尖”时，则多出现在较正式或描述性的文本中。学习时建议先掌握固定搭配的用法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end with the /oʊ/ sound, matching the final syllable of tiptoe (/ˈtɪpˌtoʊ/). Note that 'though' is spelled with -ough but is pronounced the same. Beware lookalikes such as 'tip' or 'tight'—they do not rhyme.
