Relating to or resembling Euclid or his mathematical principles and geometric methods.
From Euclid, the ancient Greek mathematician (fl. 300 BCE), whose name comes from Greek 'eu' (well) + 'kleos' (fame). The suffix '-id' indicates similarity or relationship to the subject.
Euclid's 'Elements' was literally the most widely-read textbook on Earth for over 2,000 years—more than the Bible in some periods—which is wild when you think about how a 2,300-year-old math book still shapes how we understand geometry.
