Root Explanation

Monorhyme → It is formed from "mono-" (from Greek "monos", meaning single or one) and "rhyme" (from Old French "rime", meaning a correspondence of sound). The word "monorhyme" refers to a poetic form where all lines end with the same sound, hence a single rhyme throughout.

Memory Tip

Think of 'mono-' meaning 'one' and 'rhyme' referring to sound correspondence — this helps you remember that 'monorhyme' means a single rhyme used throughout a poem.
