Syncopation
In music, syncopation is the stressing of a normally unstressed beat in a bar or the failure to sound a tone on an accented beat. For example, in 4/4 time, the first and third beats are normally stressed. If, instead, the second and fourth beats are stressed and the first and third unstressed, the rhythm is syncopated. Also, if the musician suddenly does not play anything on beat 1, that would also be syncopation.
Syncopation in poetry
The term syncopation in poetry is used when we drop a vowal (omit the pronunciation) before a liquid or nasal consonant, like in wand'ring.
