Why medicine rhymes the way it does
Medicine is built around the gliding /aษช/ (/i/); it's three-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 43, assonance 13,539, and consonance 3. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Medicine is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
