Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the '-ingly' suffix but do not rhyme with 'exceedingly' due to different stressed vowel sounds or following consonants. For example, 'exceedingly' has stress on the second syllable with vowel /iː/, while 'surprisingly' has stress on the second syllable with vowel /aɪ/. Only words with identical stressed vowel and subsequent sounds would rhyme, such as 'concedingly' (rare) but none are common.
