Iambic names the same beat-shape as an : a weak (or short) beat, then a long or strong one, da-DUM, as in alive. We use iambic when we talk about a whole line, a poem, or a style built from those beats. The phrase you will meet again and again is iambic : a line of five of those da-DUM units. Shakespeare’s plays are full of it. As a noun, iambic can also mean that kind of poetry itself, but students almost always meet it as a describing word: iambic verse, an iambic line. The name for one single unit is . Though actually, make iambic sound like a perfect machine. In a real speech, Shakespeare often breaks the pattern for anger, jokes, or a catch of breath. The word still points at that weak-then-strong family of rhythm.
組成From Middle French iambique, from Late Latin iambicus, from Ancient Greek iambikós, from íambos + the Greek ending -ikós that makes an adjective. The noun use comes from the same path.
