Words that rhyme with Entirety
The shape of entirety: four-syllable, vowel coloured by the clipped /ɪ/, ending that ends on an open vowel. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Its job in a lyric is a word everyone uses, holding down whatever line it lands in. Songwriters who arrive looking for what rhymes with entirety find the same uneven map: perfect rhymes are not on the table, the family column is blank, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why entirety rhymes the way it does
The phonology of entirety is a four-syllable core: the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 90, assonance 3,034, and consonance 1067. 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. 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. Entirety rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
