Context & Register

Pronunciation & Spelling
No listed word fully rhymes with reasonableness. Reason and reasonable share its opening /ˈrizə/ but not the ending. The -ness words (business, happiness, kindness, awareness) are useful lookalikes: they end in the same spelling -ness, but they put stress on a different vowel (business /ˈbɪz-/, happiness /ˈhæ-/, kindness /ˈkaɪnd-/, awareness /əˈwɛr-/), so they do not rhyme with reasonableness. Business is a trap because its 'ness' is unstressed and the first vowel is /ɪ/, not /i/.
