Wikipedia definition
1. Dactyl (poetry)A dactyl (Gr. δάκτυλος dáktulos, “finger”) is a foot in poetic meter. In quantitative verse, such as Greek or Latin, a dactyl is a long syllable followed by two short syllables, as determined by syllable weight. In accentual verse, such as English, it is a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables—the opposite is the anapaest (two unstressed followed by a stressed syllable).
