同義詞
  • pointed

    general term for anything tapering to a point; less specific than 'spiked' about the presence of separate spike-like projections

  • barbed

    specifically describes wire or objects with backward-facing points that catch or snag; stronger sense of dangerousness

  • prickly

    describes surfaces with many small sharp points like a cactus or hedgehog; less structured than a spiked object

反義詞
  • smooth

    completely flat and even, with no raised parts at all

用法筆記

Commonly used to describe protective or defensive objects such as collars, fences, gates, helmets, and weapons. The object noun almost always appears before the adjective — the opposite order (e.g. 'a collar that is spiked') is possible but far less frequent.

常見錯誤

❌He stepped on a spiked nail.
✅He stepped on a spike.
💡Use the noun 'spike' for a single pointed object; 'spiked' as an adjective describes an object that has spikes on it.

    broader term — can describe natural texture or rough feeling, not necessarily deliberately styled

用法筆記

This sense is strongly tied to hairstyling contexts. Almost always describes deliberately styled hair, not naturally spiky or uncombed hair. The natural equivalent uses the adjective 'spiky' instead.

collocation: spiked beverage

同義詞
  • laced

    very similar in meaning; slightly more general — can apply to food as well as drinks, and the added substance may not be harmful

  • drugged

    more specific; makes clear that a drug was added, whereas 'spiked' can also refer to extra alcohol

反義詞
  • unadulterated

    formal term meaning pure and not mixed with anything extra

用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun describing a beverage (drink, punch, beverage). The identity of the substance is often deliberately unclear — 'spiked' implies something was added secretly, but not necessarily what. Distinguish from sense 1 — in this sense it describes the drink itself, not a physical object with points.

常見錯誤

❌The coffee was spiked with sugar.
✅The coffee was spiked with a sedative.
💡'Spiked' implies something harmful or secret; for ordinary additions like sugar or milk, use 'added' or 'put in.'
