Etymology

From mono- + rhyme.

Meanings

  1. A poem or rhyme scheme whose lines all end with the same rhyme.
    • Until 1629 no other rhyme scheme approaches the importance of monorhyme; in 1655–1729 alternating rhyme numbers over half of the total output, and for two of the next three generations it drops down to about a third. 2013, David Malkiel, Stones Speak - Hebrew Tombstones from Padua, 1529-1862, page 36:
