[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin septem (“seven”) + Ancient Greek γωνία (gōnía, “angle”), equivalent to septa- + -gon.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]septagon (plural septagons)
- (proscribed) A polygon with seven sides and seven angles.
Usage notes
[edit]Because septagon is formed by combining Latin septem (“seven”), with Ancient Greek γωνία (gōnía, “angle”), it may be considered less correct than heptagon, which has a fully Greek etymology.
