Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words end with the stressed vowel sound /ɜːs/ and therefore rhyme with the final syllable of intersperse. Note that words like preserve and conserve end in /ɜːv/ with a voiced /v/, not /s/, so they do not rhyme. Also, inter- prefixes like in interfere or intercede have entirely different endings.
