The idea
A stanza is a group of lines set off by a space, the verse equivalent of a paragraph. The glossary uses the word inside three of its own definitions but gives it no headword. Stanza shape and rhyme scheme together identify most fixed forms.
In practice
A group of lines, set off.
Where people slip
The glossary uses the word undefined.
