Falling, sinking, or having a downward rhythm or motion; characterized by cadence.
From Latin 'cadent-,' the present participle of 'cadere' (to fall). It directly describes something that is actively falling or moving downward with rhythm.
This adjective is so rare that most people have never encountered it, yet it perfectly captures qualities that we usually describe with longer phrases like 'having a falling quality.'
