paeonn.

Brit.

/ˈpiːən/, U.S.

/ˈpiən/

Forms: 1600s paeeon, 1600s–1700s paean, 1600s– paeon.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin paeōn.

Etymology: < classical Latin paeōn a metrical foot consisting of one long and three short syllables < ancient Greek παιών (see paean n.).Ancient Greek παιών represents the Attic-Ionic form corresponding to Doric παιάν. Both forms are found as titles of Apollo, and denoting hymns addressed to him, but only the former is used in prosody. Similarly, in classical Latin, both paeān and paeōn are used of the god and hymns sung to him, but only paeōn in prosody.

Prosody.

In Greek and Latin poetry: a metrical foot consisting of one long and three short syllables. Also in later use: a foot in English verse consisting of one stressed and three unstressed syllables.The position of the long (or stressed) syllable in a paeon is variable, and determines whether the paeon is termed first, second, third, or fourth.Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89) is one of the few poets to have used the paeon in English verse.
