Why ultrasound rhymes the way it does
Pull ultrasound apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with a falling /aʊ/ (/aʊ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 89, assonance 4,942, and consonance 426. 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. 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. Ultrasound is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
