what noun rhymes with justice?

Answer 1

1) If you want a PERFECT rhyme, the only one is the name "Custis". Augustus is quite close.
Note that for a perfect rhyme ALL the sounds beginning with the vowel of the accented syllable must match. In this case, that means you must match "UST". Thus "poultice" will NOT work (and similarly for apprentice, solstice, practice, notice).

So, if you're working on a poem and MUST have a perfect rhyme, I'd suggest you look for a way to reword or re-order the line so that "justice" is not in the key spot!

2) The next best thing is a "near rhyme", in which MOST of the sounds match, and those that do not are either very close or de-emphasized.

Typically, matching the vowels (assonance) and the final consonant are the most important; the consonant sound or cluster between them often is not.

So, in this case I think you'll be in best shape if you
a) match the short u of "just-" (or perhaps a closely related short vowel sound, such as /aw/), and probably match or nearly match at least the "s" of this syllable;
b) match the final "iss" sound (or perhaps "ess" or "uss"), or substitute a sound close to the unvoiced s at the end, such as /f/ or /sh/, or perhaps the /z/ sound (may be spelled with s but uses the voice); an extra sound might not hurt either... thus "-its" or "-ist" or "ics/icks" could work


Note that you alsomight be able to use a two-word phrase with the same accent-pattern.

Based on all this here are some possibilities:

huffish, gruffish
gutless, gumless, sunless, runless
costless, lossless, hospice, auspice
'discuss this', 'adjust this', 'must kiss', 'what kiss', 'what if', 'what is', 'what's this', 'once/hunts/blunts/grunts + this/if'


3) In SOME contexts you don't need the words to rhyme all that well, and the rhythmic pattern is such that you CAN get away with just matching the very end of the word. In that case you could use -ice words (practice, notice, etc), but also MANY words ending in -ess (often in -less). If there are other sounds that match (like the t in the middle -- practice, notice, countess; or the s -- priceless, restless) so much the better.
