The [[word]] is derived from Old French ''rime'' or ''ryme'', which may be derived from Old Frankish rīm, a Germanic term meaning "[[series]], [[sequence]]" attested in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._600-1100.09THE_OLD_ENGLISH.2C_OR_ANGLO-SAXON_PERIOD Old English] (Old English rīm [[meaning]] "enumeration, series, numeral") and Old High German rīm, ultimately cognate to Old Irish rím, [[Greek]] ἀριθμός arithmos "[[number]]". Alternatively, the Old French words may derive from [[Latin]] ''rhythmus'', from Greek ῥυθμός (''rhythmos'', [[rhythm]]).

The spelling rhyme (from original rime) was introduced at the beginning of the Modern [[English]] period, due to a learned (but perhaps etymologically incorrect) association with Latin ''rhythmus''. The older spelling rime survives in Modern English as a rare alternative spelling. A distinction between the spellings is also sometimes made in the [[study]] of [[linguistics]] and phonology, where rime/rhyme is used to refer to the [[nucleus]] and coda of a syllable. In this [[context]], some prefer to spell this rime to separate it from the [[poetic]] rhyme covered by this article (see syllable rime).
