spectrum
含义: A continuous range or sequence of related qualities, ideas, or values; in physics, the band of colours produced when white light is separated by a prism.
Spectrum is used both literally (the electromagnetic spectrum, the visible light spectrum) and figuratively (the political spectrum, the autism spectrum). It implies a continuous range rather than discrete categories. The plural is 'spectra' (scientific) or 'spectrums' (general). The term is increasingly encountered in discussions of neurodiversity, where 'on the spectrum' refers to autism spectrum conditions. Common collocations include 'across the spectrum,' 'broad spectrum,' and 'political spectrum.'
