Why this word is great
ORTHOMETRY — [Noun] The art or practice of constructing verses correctly or harmoniously according to the rules of poetry. From the Greek ortho- ("correct, straight") and -metry ("measurement"), it is the geometry of language, the exacting science of syllable and stress. Unlike "prosody" (which surveys the broad landscape of poetic sound) or "versification" (which embraces the raw craft of verse-making), orthometry is the meticulous alignment of words to an invisible grid. It is the iambic foot falling like a metronome’s tick, the sonnet’s volta pivoting on its prescribed tenth line, the haiku’s seventeen syllables arranged with the precision of a stone garden—proof that even in art, there is solace in the measured and the known.
