Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in '-ously' are common; however, only 'gorgeously' shares the same stressed vowel /ɔː/ and the /əsli/ ending as 'enormously'. Other words like 'famously', 'monstrously', 'tremendously', and 'outrageously' have different stressed vowels, so they do not rhyme. 'Enormous' shares the root but ends in '-mous', not '-mously'.
