Why enterprise rhymes the way it does
In our engine, enterprise registers as a three-syllable word on the full-throated /aɪ/ (/i/) that tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 59, assonance 13,898, and consonance 0. 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: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Enterprise reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
