Ionic: either describing its origin (from Ionia Greece) or its syllable pattern (Ionic is a metrical foot of four syllables, either two long syllables followed by two short syllables (greater Ionic) or two short syllables followed by two long syllables (lesser Ionic))

Note: Ionic is not to be confused with

1) Iambic which is the use of a metrical foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable

2) Ionic bonding in Chemistry
