Why therapy rhymes the way it does
Therapy is built around the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's three-syllable and opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 9,279, and consonance 20. 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. Therapy is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
