Definition of Dactyl. A dactyl is a metrical foot with one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables. For example, the words âtypicalâ and âelephantâ both demonstrate the dactylic stress pattern. In Greek and Latin verse, which use a different understanding of meter that relies on the length of syllables rather than their stress pattern, a dactyl is a long syllable followed by two short syllables.
