Words that rhyme with Master
Master works as a workaday word on the lyric side and two-syllable the /ษหr/ vowel on the sound side โ it flows into the next line via a liquid at the close. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance well is bottomless. Sketch the lyric role and you get a quotidian anchor. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why master rhymes the way it does
To understand why master rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the rhotic schwa, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 30 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 130, assonance 10,517, and consonance 491. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Master rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
