Tetrasyllables

Tetrasyllables are words or other units of speech with four syllables. In poetry, the term is usually used in prosody to describe the syllable count of a word, not a metrical foot. Because the word is uncommon and can be used loosely, the intended meaning should be checked in context.

Example

Calm evening settles
under the willow tree
