RHYME

This word describes when two or more words have matching sounds at their endings, like moon and June or love and dove. It comes from Old French rime and is fundamental to poetry, songs, and many forms of creative writing. Interestingly, the word itself is spelled with a silent H that was added in the 1500s to connect it to the Greek word rhythmos.

Strategy Tip
