Poetic foot of one long then one short syllable (7)

I believe the answer is:

trochee

(Other definitions for trochee that I've seen before include "Long-short foot (metre)" , "Long-short foot in poetry" , "Metric foot; to cheer (anag.)" , "service, for example" , "Long-short metric foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
