No common English word rhymes with 'amnesty' because of its unusual /æmnəsti/ sequence. 'majesty' and 'travesty' have the same stressed vowel /æ/ but differ after that; 'amnesia' shares the initial /æm/ but has stress on the second syllable and a different ending; 'honesty' and 'modesty' have different stressed vowels. Only the '-esty' spelling links these words.
