Words that rhyme with Opinion
Sound and sense both matter for opinion. The sound: three-syllable, vowel on the short /ษ/, ending that rings out through a nasal. The sense: a workaday word. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. In a song, the word is a low-register anchor. Behind it, the rhyme map shows perfect rhymes are not on the table, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why opinion rhymes the way it does
Opinion is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the centred /ษ/, then it rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 10,581, and consonance 11. 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 the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Opinion is a word that benefits from the second pass.
