da-DUM (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iamb

'da-dum' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for iamb that I've seen before include "Short-long metric foot" , "Metrical foot of one short, one long syllables" , "Metrical unit" , "Part of a pentameter?" , "Short-long metrical foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
