Words that rhyme with Aversion
Map aversion onto a phonological grid and you get: three-syllable, the front /ษ/, ending that lets the line ring through a nasal. Lyrically, it reads as an idea-word. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. The assonance well is bottomless, family rhymes are simply absent, and perfect-rhyme territory is narrow. What rhymes with aversion? The honest answer: the pull is toward slant work. Reach for the assonance list whenever the strict pool starts repeating itself.

Why aversion rhymes the way it does
Aversion sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 81, assonance 3,863, and consonance 52. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Aversion rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
