Words that rhyme with Botanist
You can read botanist two ways: as a plain-speech anchor, or as a three-syllable shape on the high /ษช/ that spills into a fricative. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Two readings: as data โ the strict column is unhelpful here, no family-rhyme matches turn up, the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge; as lyric โ a word everyone uses. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why botanist rhymes the way it does
Botanist is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's three-syllable and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 86, assonance 7,951, and consonance 2. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for botanist tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
