    A downward stroke, especially one that is part of a sequence of alternating upward and downward strokes.

    1997, Ted Hughes, Tales from Ovid, London: Faber & Faber, "Erisychthon," lines 41-6, p. 86, He snatches an axe—and hauls / The weight of the broad head up and back. / But in that moment, as the blade hangs / Poised for the first downstroke, shudderings / Swarm through the whole tree, to its outermost twigs / And a groan bursts out of the deep grain.
