I strongly disagree with the automatic redirection of 'upbeat' to 'anacrusis'. No sane musician is going to say 'anacrusis' if they mean upbeat. Also, upbeat has a specific musical meaning or meanings, which are not quite the same as 'anacrusis' in poetic rhythm. For example in conducting, upbeat is

I completely agree with the redirection to the term "anacrusis." Anacrusis is defined by the Oxford
Dictionary of Music as "Unstressed syllable at the beginning of a line of poetry or an unstressed note or group of notes at the beginning of a musical phrase." This by definition links the literary

is also misleading, because an anacrusis is part of the score. An instrumentalist would equally well take a breath before beginning a piece with an "explicit" anacrusis.

Ultimately it seems to add little insight to the question as to why a tentative, metrically defective foot or measure can function as an effective introduction.
