Geometriform

/dʒiːˈɒmɪtrɪfɔːrm/ adjective

Definition

Having the form or shape of a geometric pattern or figure; resembling geometric structures in shape or arrangement.

Etymology

From 'geometric' plus the Latin suffix '-form' (meaning 'having the form of'). This combines geometric description with the formative element that denotes shape.

Kelly Says

Crystalline minerals are naturally geometriform—salt crystals form perfect cubes and quartz forms six-sided prisms because atoms arrange in the most efficient geometric patterns!
