/ˈˌpɛrəˌlɛləˈpaɪpᵻd/,

/ˈˌpɛrəˌlɛləˈpɪpᵻd/

Forms: 1600s parallelipiped, 1600s– parallelepiped, 1700s parallelopipede, 1700s–1900s parallelepepid, 1700s–1900s parallelopepid, 1700s– parallelopiped.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin parallelepipedum; Greek παραλληλεπίπεδον.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin parallelepipedum (4th–5th cent.; also 5th–6th cent. in Boethius) or its etymon Hellenistic Greek παραλληλεπίπεδον parallelepipedon n. Compare French parallélépipède (1639; also parallelipipède (1762; attested earlier in Middle French as adjective (1570)). Compare earlier parallelepipedon n. N.E.D. (1904) gives the pronunciation as (pærălelˌe·piped) /ˌpærəlɛlˈɛpɪpɛd/.

Geometry.

A solid figure whose faces are six parallelograms, of which opposite pairs are parallel; a prism whose base is a parallelogram.
