Convexes

Definition

Plural of convex; multiple convex surfaces or shapes.

Etymology

Convex (the noun form, meaning a convex surface) + -es (regular plural). 'Convex' can function as a noun in technical contexts, making 'convexes' a valid plural form.

Kelly Says

In geometry and optics, you might hear 'convexes and concaves' when discussing lens shapes, where both terms become nouns representing types of surfaces. This is specialized technical usage that most people never encounter.
