Anapestic (n.):
A metrical foot consisting of two short syllables followed by one long syllable or of two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable.
The word unaware is an anapestic word since the "una" part is unstressed, but the "ware" is stressed.

And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
