technicalformal
Laying something down as a fixed statement, or, in verse, carrying the main stress of a metrical foot.
Thetic comes from the Greek word for putting or placing, and it describes anything that sets a point down firmly instead of arguing toward it. Logicians call a flat assertion thetic, and scholars of Greek and Latin verse use it for the part of a foot that bears the beat. Because it can sound dogmatic, the word sometimes carries a faint note of stubbornness.
