In Ancient Greek grammar, a barytone is a word without any accent on the last syllable.
Words with an acute or circumflex on the second-to-last or third-from-last syllable are barytones, as well as words with no accent on any syllable: Like the word baritone, it comes from Ancient Greek barýtonos,[1] from barýs 'heavy; low'[2] and tónos 'pitch; sound'.
