eye-word

名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A word encountered more often in writing than in speech, and thus liable to be pronounced incorrectly.
    — We may hesitate whether "churl" is to be pronounced with a k or with a soft ch sound, because we do not use the word commonly in speech and hence it is becoming more of an eye-word than an ear-word.
