Decahedrons

/ˌdɛkəˈhɛdrənz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of decahedron using English pluralization; multiple ten-faced three-dimensional shapes.

Etymology

From decahedron + -s (English plural suffix). While decahedra is the Greek plural, English speakers often add -s to Greek-derived words, creating decahedrons as an alternative plural.

Kelly Says
