Lŏg-a-od'ic, a.

a. [Gr. λογαοιδικός, from λόγος, discourse, prose, and ἀοιδή, song.] (Gr. Pros.) Composed of dactyls and trochees so arranged as to produce a simple movement analogous to that of ordinary speech—said of certain verses or rhythms, which are so designated because their movements are intermediate between those of prose and poetry.
