Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：geology、civil engineering、hydrology 在表示“水流突然冲刷造成的侵蚀或冲蚀沟”的义项中，washout 通常用于地质学、土木工程、水文学等专业书面语境，语气偏中性或正式；日常口语中较少这样使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all share the spelling chunk -out and the final sound /aʊt/. Note that in washout the main stress falls on wash-, so the -out syllable is not stressed; these one-syllable words stress /aʊt/ themselves, so they are not exact rhymes with the whole compound. Also beware lookalikes such as rough /rʌf/ and cough /kɒf/, whose -ough spells different sounds.
