Words that rhyme with Apparent
Sound and sense both matter for apparent. The sound: three-syllable, vowel on the centred /ษ/, ending that closes on the nasal-stop pairing. The sense: a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect matches come in a small handful, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Take the lyric role separately and it's a common-tongue word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why apparent rhymes the way it does
Apparent sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 142, assonance 12,981, and consonance 27. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Apparent works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
