adjective more unstressed · most unstressed

  1. of a vowel Not stressed or accentuated. Type D half-lines ending in words of this type are analysed by Hutcheson as ending in two completely unstressed syllables. That analysis must be descriptively correct for, say, the 10th cent.; whether it would have fitted the facts in the 8th cent. is much less clear.
  2. Not subject to stress.
