覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
card + stock で覚えると定着しやすい語です。card は名刺・はがき・カード類、stock は「在庫」より「材料・ベース」の感覚で取るのがコツ。つまり cardstock は「カード向けの、しっかりした紙」。普通の paper より厚く、cardboard ほど板状ではない中間の位置です。business cards, invitations, postcards, craft projects などの場面と結びつけると覚えやすく、印刷用紙名として見ても意味を取りやすくなります。
Split it into `card + stock`. Here, `stock` means material or base, so think of paper strong enough for cards. It helps to place it between `paper` and `cardboard` in your mind: thicker than normal paper, but not as stiff as cardboard.
