Morphology

end-rhymed = end + rhyme (transparent) = end + rhyme + ed

Formed from the compound 'end' + 'rhyme' with the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed'; the meaning 'having rhymes at the ends (of lines)' is directly derivable.

Etymology

End-rhymed is simply the parts end and rhyme, where end means 'the last part' and rhyme means 'a matching sound'. So an end-rhymed poem has lines that finish with the same or similar sounds, like a song with matching line endings.
