A linguistic term describing sounds or words that do not have assonance or lack similarity in vowel sounds.
From 'a-' (without) + 'sonant' (from Latin sonans, sounding), creating an adjective for language without the musical vowel-sound repetition called assonance.
Poets and writers obsess over assonance to create beautiful sound patterns, so 'asonant' words are the ones that don't cooperate—like how 'cat' and 'bat' create assonance, but 'cat' and 'dog' are asonant.
