Are some rhymes more than coincidence?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) February 27th, 2010

For example:

single:mingle

wife:strife(or life if you want to be optimistic)

wild:child

Do some words just rhyme and go together magically on accident, or are they sometimes relatives on an etymological branch that were designed for coupling.
