The missing term is inversion (or hyperbaton / anastrophe).
Inversion refers to the reversal or rearrangement of natural word order within a poetic line to achieve structural emphasis or rhythmic flow.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Examine the grammatical arrangement of words in the line.
The adverbial modifier 'Much' is placed at the beginning before the subject and verb ('have I travell'd').
Standard English prose syntax would be 'I have travelled much'.

Identify the poetic technique that modifies typical word order.
The technique is called poetic inversion.
Poetic inversion (also termed hyperbaton or anastrophe) rearranges conventional syntax for emphasis, meter, or rhyme.
