Words that rhyme with Arrogant
Approached as a word everyone uses, arrogant is a three-syllable core sitting on the front-and-flat /æ/ — which lands on a nasal-stop cluster. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Two readings: as data — the strict-rhyme column is bare, family rhymes are simply absent, the assonance pool runs into the thousands; as lyric — a workaday word. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.

Why arrogant rhymes the way it does
Arrogant sits on the short /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 138, assonance 13,443, and consonance 1. 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 arrogant, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
