Why appetite rhymes the way it does

Appetite is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the open /aษช/ diphthong, then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 411 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 286, assonance 3,740, and consonance 1805. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Appetite is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
