Open English WordNet defines lemmas, and cited is not one of them. The nearest lemma it does define is cite — a short note recognizing a source of information or of a quoted passage. The rule that found it is on the sources page; nothing here claims a grammatical relation.

The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary reads it as s ay1 t ah0 d — 2 syllables, the stress on syllable 1.

5 words share everything from the last stressed vowel on — that is what counts as a rhyme here.
