rhyming words?

Question

what is a word that rhymes with exponet and relates to math?

Answer 1

I'm a new math proponent
(kind of lame I know, but I think it means someone who is in favour of something)

Answer 2

(Sum -- three possibilities: component, moment, quotient )


One thing that makes this particular word tougher is that, though in MOST uses it is pronounced with the accent on the SECOND syllable (ex-PON-ent), in its mathematical use it is more often accented on the FIRST syllable (EX-pon-ent).

Since rhymes are generally supposed to include everything from the vowel of the ACCENTED syllable to the end, there is more to try to match.

Now you can still find some workable NEAR rhymes (most sounds match closely, not all exactly) -- such as "LESS potent" or "BEST moment".

You also might be able to get away with ignoring the first syllable and focusing on the rest of the word. In that case, you might use

MOMENT
with the following meaning:

(Statistics) "the mean or expected value of the product formed by multiplying together a set of one or more variates or variables each to a specified power"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/moment

(As you can see from the definition's reference to a "power", there is a connection with "exponent".)

Again, ignoring the first syllable would let you use:

COMPONENT
opponent
deponent

Of these, only "component" is math-related

There are also near rhymes like:
ponent
rodent
docent
nocent
cogent

Again, none of these are math-related, but here's ONE that could work:

QUOTIENT

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING? "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand and "lollipop" with your right. (Bet you tried this out mentally, didn't you?) No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt". (Are you doubting this?) Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?) The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one.) There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. (You're not doubting this, are you?) There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious." (Yes, admit it, you are going to say . a e i o u) TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out) A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. (Some days that's about what my memory span is) ; A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes. A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.) Almonds are a member of the peach family. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Babies are born without kneecaps They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age. February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon. In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.
