Why excitement rhymes the way it does
The phonology of excitement is a four-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 166, assonance 3,144, and consonance 15. 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. Excitement reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
