Pronunciation & Spelling
Master and headmaster share the stressed /mɑːstə/ ending and rhyme. Schoolmaster, postmaster, paymaster, and housemaster end in the same letters, but the main stress is on the first element, so they do not rhyme fully. Schoolmistress is a lookalike: it starts with school- but ends with /mɪstrɪs/.
