morange

A word that has been created specifically to rhyme with another word.

Often used in lazy song writing when you write yourself into the end of a line that needs to rhyme with 'opus'

p1: I need a word that rhymes with purple...
p2: ...murple?
p1: Nah, I don't want to use a morange.

In "Josie" by Steely Dan, 'scrapple' is a morange:
Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple

Most murples are moranges (in that they are created specifically to rhyme with the word purple)

Bad Rapper: So we're gonna paint it purple,
with brushes and some blurple...
Other: ... man that's such a murple.
And also a morange. Dude, uncool.
