Female rhymes \Female rhymes\ (Pros.),
   double rhymes, or rhymes (called in French feminine rhymes
   because they end in e weak, or feminine) in which two
   syllables, an accented and an unaccented one, correspond at
   the end of each line.

   Note: A rhyme, in which the final syllables only agree
         (strain, complain) is called a male rhyme; one in which
         the two final syllables of each verse agree, the last
         being short (motion, ocean), is called female. --Brande
         & C. -- {Female screw}, the spiral-threaded cavity into
         which another, or male, screw turns. --Nicholson.
