Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with leniency (/ˈlinjənsi/). Efficiency, deficiency, and proficiency are useful spelling lookalikes (all end in -iency) but sound different, ending in /ʃənsi/. Clemency is a near synonym in meaning but does not rhyme. Tendency and emergency share the unstressed suffix -ency (/ənsi/), but their stress is on an earlier syllable, so they do not rhyme either.
