Grammar Note

Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -gree share the same spelling chunk 'gree' as pedigree, but their stress is on the final syllable, while pedigree has initial stress. The vowel in the final syllable is a long /iː/ in these words, whereas pedigree may have a shorter /i/. Thus they are spelling lookalikes rather than perfect rhymes.
