Question abouta grammatical term

No more secondary stress than in any other poly-syllabic words.  For
example, "telephonic" is (at least for me) télephònic, that is, with
main stress on the first syllable, and secondary stress on the third,
just like "wátercòoler" has main stress on the first syllable and
secondary stress on the 3rd syllable.  There are some that vary, like
"on-line" is sometimes ónlíne, with two stresses, and sometimes ónline,
with one stress.  I use the two-stress pronunciation, and find the
one-stress pronunciation odd.  :-)
