Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with venom /ˈvenəm/. Atom, bottom, and phantom share the final unstressed /-əm/ sound and the spelling -om, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not rhymes. Omen and women look similar but sound different; denim is a near rhyme with /ˈdɛnɪm/ but has /ɪ/ instead of /ə/ in the final syllable.
