Only verminous truly rhymes with terminus (/ˈtɜːmɪnəs/). Ominous and luminous share the written suffix -minous and its sound /mɪnəs/, but they have a different stressed vowel and do not rhyme. Minus, Venus, and bonus end in -nus /nəs/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not rhymes either.
