rhyme
This term describes the sonic harmony created when words share identical ending sounds, evoking a sense of predictability and musicality. It is most frequently associated with poetry and songwriting, where it serves as a structural tool to create rhythm or mnemonic devices. When used as a noun to describe a specific poem, it often carries a connotation of simplicity or childhood, as seen in the context of nursery rhymes. As a verb, it can describe both the inherent property of two words sounding alike and the active process of composing verse.
