Pronunciation & Spelling
No perfect rhyme; 'wondrous' has two syllables (/ˈwʌndrəs/). 'Wonder' (/ˈwʌndər/) shares the spelling and the stressed syllable but ends in /ər/. 'Thunderous' (/ˈθʌndərəs/) and 'ponderous' (/ˈpɑːndərəs/) are close but keep a schwa after 'd'. Lookalikes with '-ous' such as 'dangerous', 'marvelous', and 'tremendous' have different stressed vowels or stress placement, so they are not rhymes.
