Why ancestry rhymes the way it does
Ancestry is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the tight /ษช/, then it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 6,728, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Ancestry is a word that benefits from the second pass.
