Words that rhyme with Luxurious
Most songwriters treat luxurious as a word the verse uses to fix its colour, but the phonology underneath matters: three-syllable, vowel on the front /ษ/, ending that tails through a fricative. Songs use it to mark the emotional temperature. In a song, the word is a tonal-temperature word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows no strict pair turns up at all, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why luxurious rhymes the way it does
In our engine, luxurious registers as a three-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 51, assonance 3,374, and consonance 506. 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. Luxurious reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
