Words that rhyme with Annuity
The shape of annuity: three-syllable, vowel coloured by the high /ɪ/, ending that opens out at the end. Songs that use it well also reach for something physical nearby. Engine returns: the perfect column comes up empty, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lyric returns: an idea-word looking for a body. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why annuity rhymes the way it does
Pull annuity apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 138, assonance 3,570, and consonance 1009. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With annuity, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
