Words that rhyme with Frequent
From a sound-design view, frequent is a workaday word on the mid /ษ/, two-syllable, and it lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Engine returns: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no family-rhyme matches turn up, the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Lyric returns: a plain-speech anchor. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why frequent rhymes the way it does
Frequent is built around the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 201, assonance 6,890, and consonance 1. 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 frequent tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
