Etymology
The term 'quadrangular' is derived from the Latin word 'quadrangulus', which means 'four-cornered'. This Latin term itself is a combination of 'quadrus', meaning 'square' or 'four', and 'angulus', meaning 'angle'. The use of 'quadrangular' in English can be traced back to the 19th century, as geometry and mathematics began to incorporate more precise language to describe the properties of shapes. Historically, the identification and classification of shapes have been essential in various fields such as architecture, engineering, and art. As a result, the term has evolved and remains relevant in modern discussions about geometry and design.
