Learner notes
Memory Tip
看到wad联想到一团揉皱的纸：把它揉成紧密一团，再塞进缝隙——wad就是“揉成团、填塞”的动作。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：crumpling paper、stuffing a gap with cloth、padding a garment wad 作动词时，不同搭配的正式程度略有差别：把纸或布揉成一团较口语化，用软物填塞缝隙或给衣物加衬垫则接近中性说明。多用于日常动作或操作说明，正式写作中可考虑 crumple、stuff、pack 等更通用的词。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 /ɒd/ 结尾，与 wad 押韵。注意形近词 wade (/weɪd/) 和 ward (/wɔːrd/) 发音不同，不与 wad 押韵。wad 中的 a 发 /ɒ/，不是 /æ/。
