A French verse form consisting of ten octosyllabic lines, often used in medieval and Renaissance poetry.
From French dizaine, the feminine form of dizan, derived from dix meaning 'ten,' describing a specific metrical structure popular in French verse tradition.
The dizaine was the favorite form for French medieval poetry—and it's so specifically French that English borrowed the whole word rather than trying to describe what it is!
