Geometrised

/dʒiːˈɒmɪtɹaɪzd/ verb

Definition

Past tense and past participle of geometrise; having been made geometric in shape or pattern.

Etymology

From geometrise plus the -ed past tense ending. Used primarily in British English; the American equivalent would be 'geometrized.' The form has been in use since geometry became an artistic and design principle in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Kelly Says

When we say a design has been 'geometrised,' we're describing something that started messy or organic but got cleaned up into shapes—think of how a topographic map geometrises a chaotic landscape into neat contour lines. It's the past tense of transformation!
