Hexad

/ˈhɛksæd/ noun

Definition

A group or set of exactly six things, or a person or thing that has six parts or properties.

Etymology

From Greek 'hex-' (six) + '-ad' (a group of). The term was used by ancient Greek mathematicians and philosophers, including Pythagoras, to describe groups of six units or properties.

Kelly Says

The hexad was mystically important to Pythagoras, who believed six was a 'perfect number' because its divisors (1, 2, 3) add up to exactly 6—the only number under 30 with this property.
