Metrical foot consisting of one long and one short syllable (7)

I believe the answer is:

trochee

(Other definitions for trochee that I've seen before include "Using foot" , "poetic feature" , "Long-short foot in poetry" , "To cheer about this metrical unit" , "Long-short foot (metre)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
