iambusn.

Brit.

/ʌɪˈambəs/, U.S.

/aɪˈæmbəs/

Etymology: Latin, < Greek ἴαμβος iambus, iambic verse or poem, lampoon, < ἰάπτειν to assail (in words); the iambic trimeter being first used, according to tradition, by the Greek satiric writers Archilochus and Hipponax.

Prosody.

A metrical foot consisting of a short followed by a long syllable; in accentual verse, of an unaccented followed by an accented syllable. The iambic rhythm, as being closest to that of ordinary speech, was employed in Greek and Latin as the common metre of dialogue; its earliest known use is as a vehicle of invective and satire. (Cf. etymology above.)
