Morphology

unique + rhymery

The overall sense — a distinctive style of creating rhymes — follows directly from combining 'unique' (distinctive) with a noun meaning a practice or style of rhyming. However, 'rhymery' is nonstandard/nonce and requires morphological inference from 'rhyme' + the suffix -ery, so an average B1 learner may not reliably recognise or form that meaning without exposure.

Etymology

Unique rhymery comes from the playful idea of rhymery as a little workshop where someone makes rhymes and unique meaning one-of-a-kind. So, the phrase means 'a distinctive way of rhyming' that makes a writer or speaker stand out.
