📏
cylindered
[ ˈsɪlɪndərd ]
geometric shape
The term 'cylindered' describes an object or structure that possesses the characteristics of a cylinder. In geometry, a cylinder is defined as a three-dimensional shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface at a fixed distance from the center of the bases. Objects described as cylindered often refer to their round, elongated shape which can be seen in various materials and structures, including pipes, cans, and certain types of storage containers. This term is less commonly used but can apply in both mathematical and practical contexts when referring to such shapes.
Synonyms
columnar, cylindrical, tube-shaped.
Examples of usage
- The cylindered shape of the pillar stood out.

Etymology
The word 'cylindered' originates from the term 'cylinder,' which comes from the Greek word 'kylindros', meaning 'roller' or 'cylinder'. Its Latin counterpart is 'cylindrus'. The geometric concept of the cylinder has been defined since ancient times, frequently appearing in Roman and Greek architecture and design. The modern usage of the word 'cylinder' in mathematics dates back to the Renaissance, when mathematicians began to formalize shapes and their properties more systematically. Over time, 'cylindered' evolved to describe objects that embody the smooth, round characteristics associated with the cylinder, allowing it to extend beyond pure geometry into everyday language.
