Dactylic is the adjectival form of the noun dactyl. A dactyl is a metrical foot that has a strong syllable followed by two weak ones: strong weak weak.
The word "certainly" has that metrical beat: 'CER-tuhn- ly. Dactylic lines move the reader, speaker, and listener along in a kind of march or trot. Too many dactylic lines in a pattern that is too regular will become a foolish sing-song: 'Dactyls will 'urge you to 'move in a 'march,
'Following 'beats as you 'walk.
'Spondees re'tard you, and 'anapests 'skip,
'Lending a 'lilt to your 'talk.
'Iambs will 'stroll with un'usual 'ease,
'Loping from 'pillar to 'post.
But 'dactyls are 'happy and 'cheerful and 'light,
So 'they are the 'ones I like 'most.

How to write meter in short form?
To write meter in short form, use a combination of letters and numbers that represent the type and number of feet in a line of poetry. For example, "iambic pentameter" can be abbreviated as "iamb. pent." where "iamb" signifies the foot and "pent" denotes five feet. Common abbreviations include "iamb" for iambic, "troch" for trochaic, "anap" for anapestic, and "dact" for dactylic. Additionally, you can indicate the number of feet with terms like "tetrameter" (four feet) or "hexameter" (six feet).

No, but sometimes "average" means "mean" - when it doesn't mean median, geometric mean, or something else entirely.
