septagon

English
A regular septagon

Etymology

From Latin septem (“seven”) + Ancient Greek γωνία (gōnía, “angle”), equivalent to septa- +‎ -gon.

Pronunciation
  • (US) enPR: sĕpt'əgŏn, IPA(key): /ˈsɛptəɡɒn/

Noun

septagon (plural septagons)

  1. (proscribed) A polygon with seven sides and seven angles.

Usage notes

Because septagon is formed by combining Latin septem (“seven”), with Ancient Greek γωνία (gōnía, “angle”), it may be considered less correct than heptagon, which has a fully Greek etymology.
