Monsignor ends in /siːnjə(r)/. Senior (US /ˈsiːnjər/) shares the stressed vowel /iː/ and the /njər/ ending, so it rhymes. Junior /ˈdʒuːnjər/ shares only the /njər/ ending but has a different stressed vowel, making it a near rhyme. Signor /siːnˈjɔːr/ and monsieur /məˈsjɜːr/ look similar in writing but end in different vowel sounds and do not rhyme.
