Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes with miscellany /miˈseləni/. Colony /ˈkɑːləni/ is the nearest sound: it shares the final /ləni/ but stresses the first syllable, so it is not a rhyme. Miscellaneous /ˌmɪsəˈleɪniəs/ looks alike but has a different ending and stress. Company, tyranny, and botany all end in /əni/, and ceremony ends in /moʊni/; none rhymes with the stressed -sel- of miscellany.
