What rhyme means

A word or line of verse that ends with the same sound as another word or line, or the correspondence of sounds at the ends of words.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *rime* meaning agreement or harmony, possibly influenced by Old Norse *rím* (number or count).

The ultimate origin is uncertain, though some scholars link it to Latin *rhythmus* (rhythm) and Greek *rhythmos*, though this connection remains debated.
