distich
- /ˈdɪstɪk/
Where it comes from
From Latin distichon (“a poem of two verses, a distich consisting of a hexameter and a pentameter”), from Ancient Greek δίστιχον (dístikhon).
noun distichs
- A couplet, a two-line stanza making complete sense. Through these distichs of increasing intensity and vagueness, the reader is brought to the riddle of the concluding distich: as far as the speaker is concerned, the girl was ‘pure’, but she will not be if Aeschylus wants to receive the same service on a ‘bad condition’.
- Any couplet.
adjective
- Distichous.
