Is there a term for the act of changing the spelling of a word, to force it to rhyme with another?

Asked by ragingloli (52231points) August 4th, 2021

For example, changing the word “dromedary” to “dromedara”, to make it rhyme with “Sahara”.

Although in a humorous English verse, it would probably be dromedary/Saharry.
