The term is "iamb." It is a metrical foot in poetry consisting of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable, such as in the word "begin."
The definition given does not specify the order of these syllables. If the pattern is one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables, it is a dactyl. If the pattern is two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable, it is an anapest (also spelled "anapaest"). Words that are dactyls include metrical, syllable, merrily, and cinnamon. "What can the matter be?" is a sentence made up of two dactyls. Phrases that are anapests include "go away", "take a bath", "come along", and "fall apart".
