发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The words above all end in the suffix -ness, pronounced /nəs/. Only sickness and thickness rhyme with each other; wickedness /ˈwɪkədnəs/ does not rhyme exactly with any of them because it has an extra /əd/ syllable before -ness. Weakness looks similar to sickness but has the long vowel /iː/ instead of /ɪ/.
