记忆方法
1、anchor（锚）、angle（角）、ankle（脚踝）三个一起背：它们同出一个「弯」——锚是弯钩，脚踝是脚的弯处，角是两条线夹出的弯。
2、h 不发音，读 /ˈæŋkə/，别按字面拆成 an-chor；拼写 a-n-c-h-o-r，中间正好藏着 nch。
3、比喻顺着画面记：船靠锚才稳住 → 队里"托底、压阵"的那个人，新闻主播就叫 anchorman（后来引申的说法）。

英语词源
- anchor

anchor: [OE] English borrowed this word from Latin in the 9th century, but its ultimate source is Greek ágkūra (which goes back to an Indo- European base *angg- ‘bent’, also the source of angle and ankle). Originally it was spelled ancor, reflecting Latin ancora; the inauthentic h began to creep in in the 16th century, in imitation of the learned-looking but misguided Latin spelling anchora.
=> angle, ankle - anchor (n.)
- Old English ancor, borrowed 9c. from Latin ancora "anchor," from or cognate with Greek ankyra "anchor, hook" (see ankle). A very early borrowing and said to be the only Latin nautical term used in the Germanic languages. The -ch- form emerged late 16c., a pedantic imitation of a corrupt spelling of the Latin word. The figurative sense of "that which gives stability or security" is from late 14c. Meaning "host or presenter of a TV or radio program" is from 1965, short for anchorman.
- anchor (v.)
- c. 1200, from anchor (n.). Related: Anchored; anchoring.
