metrical foot
The spondee, with its two long stressed syllables, is the least common metrical foot in the English language.
A metrical line with 4 metrical feet is called tetrameter. Each foot typically consists of two syllables or one long syllable, following a specific pattern depending on the type of verse (e.g., iambic tetrameter, trochaic tetrameter).
