Geom

/dʒiːˈɒm/ noun

Definition

A shortened or informal term, possibly referring to geometry or a geometric object; rare in standard usage.

Etymology

Short form of geometry (Greek geo- 'earth' + metron 'measure'). Most commonly appears in computing and technical contexts as an abbreviation rather than a formal word.

Kelly Says

In computer graphics and 3D modeling, 'geom' is programmer slang for geometry objects—showing how technical fields create their own shorthand that rarely makes it into dictionaries.
