Enneagonal

/ɛniˈæɡənəl/ adjective

Definition

Having the shape or properties of an enneagon; relating to a nine-sided polygon.

Etymology

From 'enneagon' + the adjectival suffix '-al'. This adjective form allows description of objects or patterns exhibiting nine-sided symmetry.

Kelly Says

The repetition of 'enneagonal' in lists reminds us that botanical and biological terminology sometimes describes the same nine-fold structures found in nature—like flower petals arranged in sets of nine—without needing special names because they use the same ancient Greek roots.
