语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：tailor's shop、suit fitting、formal event、historical drama 该词通常用于正式着装或英式英语语境，如西装背心、三件套等；正式度随地区或语境有变化，美式英语中偏传统或正式，日常中也常听到 vest 的说法。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The first part of 'waistcoat' is pronounced /weɪst/, the same as 'waste' — 'waist' and 'waste' are homophones but have different meanings. The final syllable is /kəʊt/, matching the ending of 'raincoat' and the single-syllable words 'coat', 'boat', and 'goat'. However, in 'waistcoat' and 'raincoat' the stress is on the first syllable, so they do not rhyme strictly with the stressed one-syllable words 'coat', 'boat', and 'goat'. Be careful not to confuse the spelling of 'waist' with 'waste'.
