A kind of metrical foot. A trochee (the adjective is “trochaic") is a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one:
Róund abóut the cáuldron gó,
Ín the póisoned éntrails thrów.
Because each foot consists of two syllables, the trochaic is known as a duple meter. The other most common duple meter is iambic, which is an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable. Note that you can distinguish iambic from trochaic meter only by examining the first foot in a verse, since they both alternate stressed and unstressed syllables.
Note: This guide is still in the early stages of development.
Three question marks mean I have to write more on the subject. Bear with me.
