I've been thinking about the words which rhyme with "caught".
I noticed that, with very few exceptions, they all derive from words which do not rhyme. Bizarre. But that's English. Gotta love it.
| word | derived from |
|---|---|
| ought | owe |
| brought | bring |
| caught | catch |
| fought | fight |
| taught | teach |
| thought | think |
| fraught | freight |
| onslaught slaughter | slay |
| distraught | distract |
| draught | draw (though it's generally pronounced "draft") |
| sought | seek |
| wrought | wreak |
| claught | cleek |
| bought | buy |
| haughty | high |
| flaught | fly |
