Etymology

The term 'metred' is derived from the word 'meter', which has its origins in the Greek word 'metron', meaning 'measure'. The use of 'meter' in English can be traced back to the 14th century when it began to describe the rhythmic structure of poetry. Over time, the word evolved to encompass broader applications in music, architecture, and various fields where measurement and metric systems are essential. The suffix '-ed' indicates that the state of being measured has been achieved. Thus, 'metred' captures both the essence of measurement and the resulting order in various forms of artistic and practical applications.
