parallelogramical

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   having the form or geometric properties of a parallelogram; relating to parallelograms

   The four points were called parallelogramical because their connecting sides formed two pairs of parallels.

Formed from parallelogram + -ical. Parallelogram entered English through Late Latin parallelogrammum from Greek parallelogrammon, combining parallelos, 'parallel,' with gramme, 'line.' Parallelogramical is a rare alternative to parallelogrammic or parallelogram-shaped.
