Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：business、politics、technology、history 作名词表示‘有远见的人’时，多用于正式或书面语境，常见于商业、政治、科技等领域的报道或人物评论中。通常带有褒义，形容某人能预见未来并推动创新。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These all end in '-ary'. Notice that 'boundary' is a lookalike: it is pronounced /ˈbaʊndəri/, with the final syllable /dəri/, so it does not rhyme with 'visionary'. The other five rhyme: their final stressed syllable contains /ˌɛri/ (as in 'necessary' /ˌsɛri/ and 'secretary' /ˌtɛri/), matching 'visionary' /ˌnɛri/.
