Iambic words are words with only two syllables, where the first syllable is unstressed and the second syllable is stressed ::
Arouse, asleep, assault, astern

The opposite of an iambic word is called a trochaic word, where the first syllable is stressed and the second syllable is unstressed ::
Flashing, angel, tempest, smiling
