Words that rhyme with Trespass

Approached as a workaday word, trespass is a two-syllable core sitting on the short /æ/ — which ends in a hissed consonant. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Two readings: as data — the perfect-rhyme pool is generous, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use; as lyric — a household-word. The strict list gives you a chorus' worth of options before you ever need a slant.

Why trespass rhymes the way it does

The phonology of trespass is a two-syllable core: the short /æ/ (/æ/), then it tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 58 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 104, assonance 8,506, and consonance 535. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Trespass pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
