To have the same ending sound as another word
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'rhyme' (to share a similar ending sound) with the preposition 'with' (indicating relation to another item); together they transparently mean 'have the same or similar ending sound as'. This is a regular verb + preposition compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase rhyme with comes from the image of two words that end the same way. Think of the verb rhyme as the matching sound and with as the other word together, so rhyme with means 'to have the same ending sound'.
